What Caused The Whole Bottom Of The The Leg To Swell?

My husband works in the oilfield and is gone for 14 days. For the last couple days he has what looks like an ingrown hair or spider bite on his leg. It has the whole bottom of his leg swollen and when he mashes it only a small amount of clear liquid comes out. WHat is it?

Hi, If I were your husband's treating Doctor for this case of leg lump, I would come up with the following possibilities; these include:

A sebaceous cyst or FOLLICULITIS or some abscess-loke acute inflammatory condition might be parasitic cyst too!

I suggest you to go for an FNAC and ultrasound of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing yor husband good health.
