Large Circular Purple Bruise Behind Thigh, Near Knee, Sore Spot, Swelling, Itching. Treatment?
I have a large circular purple bruise on the back of my thigh near my knee . It started as a very sore spot and redness and a little swelling , and is now less sore with a firmness in the middle but deep purple in color and is now starting to itch . I don t remember getting bitten. It s been almost a week and it is still there. Should I be concerned or see a doctor.
