What Does A Large Red Spot On The Inner Left Thigh Indicate?
I m nearly three weeks post open abdominal surgery to have my remaining ovary removed. Today I ve discovered a large red spot on my left inner thigh just below the crease and when I squeezed it green pulse came out. Any ideas, feel silly going to doctor for a spot. I ve cleaned it and put antiseptic cream on it. Thanks

Hi,
After abdominal surgery red spots on inner thigh indicate petechiae. There are many reasons for it most common among is blood leakage under the skin, breakage of vessels etc. If it makes any complication further then you should consult your doctor immediately otherwise it will go on its own.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
