A member asked:
A leathery, circular patch of skin a half inch in diameter has been on the back of her thigh for a week. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Beats me!: Without a picture and more details, it's hard to say what this could be. Did she get bitten by something, or scrape it? If she has no other symptoms, and it has only been there a week, watch for now and get seen next week if it is still there. Consider Healthtap Prime if you want to upload a picture and have room to give more details, if you want a more exact answer.
