Unsure.: Check for possible clot. Did you scratch/rub it & cause cellulitis? Insect bite, contusion, varicose vein, contact detnatitis, etc. Are also possibilities. Get it checked if painful.

I have an itchy ,raised patch on my left lower leg. It is the size a little bigger than a silver dollar. It does not hurt, not warm, not bleeding. It just itches and oozes clear liquid. I was told it is a ringworm. Ketoconazole ointment since 10/04?
