What Is The Cause For Painful Red Blotches On Leg After Having An Injury?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

I can understand your concern for painful red blotches on leg.

It can be simple granulation tissue or scarring at the area which might be causing pain. It is quite commonly observed and there is nothing to be worried about the same. If it is not getting red or not oozing any fluid then there is nothing to be worried about.

The only precaution you must follow is not to touch, pinch pop or squeeze any of them other wise it can get infected and can cause complications.

If I were your treating dermatologist then would have suggested you take pain killer tablet by mouth for reducing the intensity of pain and redness. You can additionally take antihistamine benadryl or loratadine by mouth.

Take care.
