Hi, Thanks for query to My HCM virtual Clinic.
I studied all details of your query.
Your query information is insufficient to comment on the nature of the lump on the legs.
In this background I would suggest to consult our Gp/Family doctor or if need be to Dermatologist,who would be the right consultant to check and opine about the suspected huge red lump on your son's leg.
In My Opinion you seem to have problem of flare of infected skin rash in to a cellulitis due to aggression of the infecting bacteria.
Remedy till you consult your doctor-
-Cold compresses,
-Tab Anti-inflammatory(like Motrin-OTC)
-Plan urgent visit to your doctor.
Hence Second opinion from Family doctor or if need be from ER Dermatologist would remove your worry.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Don't forget to hit thanks and write excellent review comments to help needy visitors at HCM.
