White, Sore Lump On Back Of Leg. No Previous Trauma. Can You Help?
Hi I have a big bruise on the back of my leg where the bend is, where my calf and thigh join. I didn't hit it or do anything , I'm a very active Showjumper and always active. I have a white lump in the middle of the bruise which sticks out a little and is sore to touch. My mum is very worried, as well as me. Can you help?
