Could itchy, soft lump on shin with grey centre be a bruise?
Patient: My husband has a soft lump on shin area. It is the size of a half dollar and soft to the touch. The center of it seems to have a greyish color to it.....possible a bruise? But he said he doesn t remember hitting his leg on anything. And just to the right of it, he said it is itchy.....it could be just a coincidence. Any ideas??? Doctor: Hi,Dear ,thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your query in-depth.In my opinion -this lump on the shin may be Erythema Nodosum-due to sulpha reaction-?sarcoidosis?crohns disease?some of the EN may be itchy.?Or it could be-a -spider bite?bed-bug bite?Consult your ER doctor who would take care of it.Hope This would resolve your query.Well come again for any more query.
