What Causes Red Bump On Leg And Tightness In Shin?
Hi - I have a large red bump on my leg (maybe two inches) almost circular, slightly warm to the touch and hurts slightly when I press it - then on the other leg I have a smaller red bump not warm and barely hurts to touch. Both are on the front of my leg, my shin. I don t recall bumping into anything but it s possible I did as I often do - but I just recently was on a long flight and my shins felt tight after so I m really concerned about blood clots. Do you think what I described is a cause for concern? They look almost like bug bites...
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, this could be nonspecific eruption of rash and may not be due to any disease, just wait for some time and this would be fine if not then it can be tried with long acting antihistamine like "Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg three times in day, no need to worry about this, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
