A member asked:

I noticed these hard red bumb that look like mosquitos bites but only on my thighs and turn into dark spot which has pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Consider being seen: This may be erythema nodosum. It's not a problem by itself but may point to something else. At a minimum, get your next physical exam in a couple of months.

I have a small cluster of bumps on my thigh. They are in a perfect circle. The spot is red and is very itchy. Could this be a spider bite or something? It is slightly raised and has gotten a little bit bigger since I first noticed it a few days ago.
