[|Human|] Hi, Im a 25 y/o female, in good health. I had a bruise on my left outer leg between he knee and calf, and although the bruise had healed for the most part, a lump (feels Luke a marble or pea) is now present under the center of the bruise. I had had unrelated calf and thigh pain in that leg previously, but have no other issues with the leg. What could this be - do I need to be worried about DVT or is this something which should resolve itself?
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for the query. As you are able to palpate it, it is not in deep veins area. But this seems to be related to the veins. Most likely you have some blood clot in varicose vein (where the bruise was present). In such case, there is a risk that such blood clot (superficial veins thrombosis) will spread to upper veins and reach deep veins. That is why I suggest you to do not wait with it. Please consult a surgeon. Doppler's ultrasound should be done. Anticoagulants (heparin) seems advisable. Hope this will help. Regards.
