What Does A Red And Raised Spot On The Inner Calf Indicate?

For several months now, I ve had, for lack of a better term, a spot on the right upper inside part of my calf. The spot is roundish/oval in shape, and has about a 1-2 inch diameter (it is not perfectly round). Sometimes the spot looks like a faint bruise, but daily it turns red, and becomes raised. When it s raised, it looks similar to a hive, but it does not itch. The spot is always in the same area, and has lasted several months (since at lease April 2016). I have noticed that it turns red and becomes raised after I shower, but I haven t been able to pinpoint if there are other things that cause it to turn red and raise. It is not warm to the touch (that s to say it s not warmer than the rest of my leg), and it is not painful. Any idea what it may be, or what is causing it? I ve searched the internet high and low and can t find any answers. Thanks!!

Hi,

Persistent raised red spot may be indicative of underlying coagulation disorder with secondary inflammatory changes. However, if you will provide me a photo picture of the same lesion, I would be in a better condition to guide further precisely. Would like to assist further in future.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel,
