I Have A Soft Bump On My Leg Vain That

Posted on Sat, 9 May 2020

Question: I have a Soft bump on my leg vain that is Purple that is smaller then a dime. I had it for more then a couple years now and it hurts when you touch it but recently the bump has been expanding when I’m sitting and when I get up to walk it hurts and after walking for a little bit it goes back down to normal size. I think it came about from when I got bit by a dog years ago because it showed up afterwards but I don’t know what it is and I don’t know if it’s dangerous

Hi,

I have reviewed the images. This looks benign to me at this point and I will recommend further monitoring only at this point. The pain so certainly be tolerable. If the pain goes out of control, please take some Tylenol/Ibuprofen and consult your doctor. Also, should this nevus condition to increase in size over the months and years, I will recommend you see a dermatologist to consider further evaluation to ascertain its benign nature.
