Can Splotch On The Left Leg Causes Blood Clot?
Hello my wife is 24 weeks pregnant. She's discovered a reddish purple-ish splotch on the inside of her left leg by the knee. She' s concerned it may be a blood clot or could result in a serious blood clot. The splotch seems to go away when she apply's a heat compress and elevates the leg. Is this call for concern and should we go to Emergency Clinic?

Hello,
You need to let her doctor look at this but it does not sound like a blood clot or anything that would lead to a blood clot. Dangerous blood clots are deep in the leg and do not show any skin changes.
Regards
