Hello,I am a 59 year old male.I have a spot in the middle of my right calf muscle. It was an insect or flea bite around 15 years ago but never cleared up completely. For long periods the spot is pale and inactive but periodically (once or twice per year) and for no apparent reason it becomes red and sore and will bleed easily if I absent-mindedly scratch it and it will be like that for a week or two and then I will forget it is there except when bathing.At all other times it is painless. Sorry to bother you, the advertising wasnt upfront about it costing money I cant afford - I would rather keep the spot and eat... I often wonder what it is?Regard,Verne.
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to an insect bite. It is usually nothing to be worried about. Based on the fact that it gets reinfected, I recommend consulting on dermatologist and get evaluated.Meanwhile, you can use an antibiotic cream for local application such as Newsprint cream. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
