Hi, My wife noticed a huge bruise on the inside of my right leg, about 5 to six inches in diameter. It had a large lump in the middle and then started to go away in an odd way. A bruise usually fades all at once but this one starting fading from the inside and is now almost in the shape of the letter C. I have no recollection of hitting my leg at all, it just showed up as far as I can remember. The lump still remains. Any ideas on what this could be?
Hi, Thanks for query to My Chat Doctor virtual Clinic And welcome to Chat Doctor services. I studied all details of your query. I understood your health concerns about causes of the lump that keeps fading. Based on facts of your query, it seems that-you have a lump from an engorged Varsity due to some stressful work you had, that caused thrombophelbitis./Or it could be Hives/Chronic Urticaria/or Lymphangitis. Due to its weird progress, many causes need to be worked up. Orthopedic and General Surgeon need to consulted, who would physically check and would rule out the other causes, as I don't have first-hand information of this weird lump which keeps fading. As the lump still remains, this could be fibrosis/ thrombosed vein lump. In such a scenario I Would suggest Second Opinion from Surgeon in the meanwhile. Duplex image Doppler study with Lymphangiography if need be would resolve the ambiguity in its diagnosis. Hope this reply would help you in resolving this complex query and anxiety with it. I would appreciate if you hit thanks and write excellent review comments to help needy visiting patients at Chat Doctor. Welcome for any further query in this regard. Good Day!! Chat Doctor. N.M.S.
