What Do Pimple Like Bump On Thighs And Leg Indicate?
Question: I've had several bites through the years that left a small hard permanent darken pimple-like bump on my thighs and legs. What does that?
Brief Answer:
It is scarred tissue!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this uery.
From the information you have provided, this represents scarred tissue following inflammatory reactions to the bite. Beyond the look which may not be very welcoming to you, there is no other problem that this balck spots pose to you. I will encourage you to stay calm and relaxed as there is no major reason to be afraid at this time. However, should you experience new symptoms like change in colour, increased size, pain, etc. report this for evaluation to your doctor.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more infomation and clarifications if need be.

My question is what bite (spider? Ants? What?) leaves such a scarred tissue. I've had other bits by mosquitos, etc and never leave any signs of it after the initial inflammation.
Brief Answer:
It is not specific for any bite!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is impossible to tell what caused the bite by looking at the scar tissue. If it were fresh bite, we could look at the nature an make some reasonable suggestions but not so sure about it.
The black scar is as a reaction and not the type of bite. Am sorry but no one can tell what the cause is. I know several persons who have had such scars after mosquito bites though you didn't.
I hope this helps. At your disposal for any more concerns.
