Suggest Medical exam: You need to have it checked by your doctor. it could be related to some kind of bleeding under the skin. If you are taking blood thinners, they may need to be dose adjusted. Sometimes it implies an underlying tumor unless you had some trauma to your leg recently. A prompt medical examination is a must for you to find the cause.
