Hi,Welcome to HCM Virtual Clinic.
Your son seems to have painful varicose lump with pre-ulcer bruise,as the pain is eased up after leg up position.As I don't have direct information of the shin lump,Possibility of the Boil with cellulitis needs to be ruled out.
Contact with Premium question to ME,if need be.

Welcome with any other further query in this regard.
