What Causes Unexplained Bruise On Calf Area?
I have a mysterious bruise on my calf, about 3" in diameter. It is just below my knee, on the outside of my calf. I was banged on the same spot there tonight - now it's very painful, it has a hard lump in it, and it's very hot. I have had several SVTs in the past. Do I need to have this looked into?

Ya surely u have to take it seriously... It may be cellulitis or local abscess...start on antibiotics like augmenting,and pain killer along with serratiopeptidase...U can give cold compresses also..if not cured by 5-7days..get a local USG done and consult a surgeon
