Suggest Treatment For Lump In Leg

I had Blood clot on left leg several years ago. I had treatment. Last week I felt lump on calf on same leg. There was a little pain and tenderness and I have been elevating my leg. The swelling has gone down but lump is still noticeable. What does this mean?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of blood clot on left leg several years ago - that is a long ago. This may not be related to the lump you have now as the lump has reduced in size.
Since there is a little pain and tenderness, this is most probable inflammatory like a boil or so. Hence take a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines and consult a Surgeon to get this clinically evaluated to get a proper diagnosis.
Color doppler helps a lo to get a proper diagnosis as are the blood tests.
I find this answer helpful
