Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just noticed a small red place on the calf of my right leg. I do not see any marks that would indicate a bug bite. It is sore to the touch and feels like a knot under the red area. I have also had an awful cough over the past few days. What could this be?
Any mosquito bites or bug bite or live infection may lead to rash at the site. Other possibilities like urticaria or tenia infection or mastocytosis etcetera may present like this. Until the examination of the lesion, it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
