What Is The Hot Purple Bruise On My Thigh?
I woke up this a.m. with a hot, purple bruise on my lower, inner thigh. There s been no recent trauma. No punture wounds that I can see. 12 hours later (now) it has turned black with a whitish odd shaped, white circle in the center. It s very sore. What could it be? Should I seek medical attention?

Hello,
A sudden appearance of a bruise without any history of injury that is painful can be due to an infection and needs a medical attention. Do consult your physician for a direct examination.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
