Should I Be Concerned Over Reddish Purple Bruise On My Left Thigh?

default
Posted on Wed, 12 Mar 2014
Question: Hi - on the center of my left thigh I started noticing a bump and itching sensation. Thought it was a bug bite. When I went to the bathroom I noticed a large, reddish-purple bruise out of nowhere. I cannot recall a specific injury to the area. What could this be and should I be concerned? Thanks.
