Hi, my name is Anita. earlier today my leg started itching then became quite sore when i got home i noticed my leg was swollen around the middle of my shin a large red lump had formed, my leg is now stiff and is sore with movement i don t believe its sever enough to go to a hospital though.
I would recommend you to take a course of oral and topical antibiotics. Also, take anti-inflammatory medicines like tablet ibuprofen.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
