Suggest Treatment For Bruise On The Thigh Caused After Scratching

I started to scratch the back of my thigh last night and it would not stop. I went to put anti itch spray on and saw that I did not have a bite, but there was a small bruise. When I woke up this morning the bruise had turned purple and was four times the original size. It is quite painful, almost like a muscle cramp.

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
If I was your treating physician I would have prescribed you Tylenol and Claritin tablets to be taken by mouth twice daily; and, Dermarest and hydrocortisone creams to be applied topically. These are god to soothe and relieve all kind of related Symptoms.


Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
 

Best Regards!
