hematoma or infection in soft tissue lesion or sequence of minor trauma.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.
* As per my surgical experience, soft, bloody lesion of sudden onset may be
in relation to possible hematoma or infection in previously existing
unnoticed soft tissue lesion or sequence of minor trauma.
Kindly provide me some further information so that I can answer your query more precisely.
1. Any history of undue pressure or trauma ?
2. Site of swelling, any changes in surface of skin overlying ?
3. Associated fever if any ?
4. Is there pain, pus discharge from that ?
5. If possible and no objection, a photo picture of the swelling or blister as
an attachment during follow up conversation would be of immense help
to evaluate it more perfectly.
6. Any systemic illness as diabetes ?
Awaiting for your response.
