Hello dear,
Lump on the leg,following diagnosis of kidney infection is likely a soft tissue infection(provided,conditions like deep venous thrombosis is ruled out-a physical examination can help this).As it has become a bruise now,the condition is resolving,and you need not worry.Your treating doctor will take this into consideration.
Thank you.
