Suggest Treatment For A Purple Lump Caused By A Scratch
Hi, my leg was itching yesterday so I scratched it. Look at it in the shower last night and saw a bruise. I have had itchy ones there before. What could it be? I am 31, on blood pressure meds, prozac, vitamin d 12 5,000, proair, and quvar. It is lumpy and purple it is on my left upper leg.what should I do??
This purple lump which is present on your leg after a scratch, has occurred due to allergic reaction or due it itchiness. So I would suggest you some medicines to cure it.
You should take Tablet-Levocet (if no allergy), daily at night for 7 to 10 days and Tablet-Prugo (if no allergy),10 mg, 3 times in a day at the interval of 7 to 8 hours for 5 to 7 days. Apply Calamine lotion on the affected area after cleaning with tap water 3 to 4 times in a day.
Hope these remedies will resolve your query and wish you good health.
Take Care, Thank You.
