Hi,
Welcome To Healthcare Magic.

I had gone through your query and understand it.

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.
