Pain In The Calf. Hematoma Formation On Pressing. Why?

Posted on Fri, 13 Jul 2012

Question: i've had pain in my calf for over one week, in one particular spot. today, i pressed on it lightly with my finger, and within a few seconds, a hematoma surfaced. with a few more presses, the resulting hematomas revealed a non-discolored spot the size of a nickel at the center. i've never seen a black-and-blue surface so quickly.

Hai
Iwent through your history. It was abrupt. You are not sure what question you wanted to ask
Anyhow from our point of view it could be a furuncle or summer boil. You need to cosult your physician for proper examination and to let the pus and blood if needed followed by intake of appropriate antibiotics
Have a goodd day
