A member asked:

I have this red bump kinda on the back of my thigh it doesn't hurt when i touch it. when i press in on it, it turns white then back red. what coulditb?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exam needed: Since the bump blanches and resumes redness after pressing on it, it suggests a vascular component rather than a solid nodule or lipoma. It may be a hemangioma or inflammatory lesion, but will have to be examined by your physician or a dermatologist for diagnosis and advice.
