A member asked:

Woke up with a sore. spot on my leg and i didn't. hit it on anything why would that be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bite or sting.: The most common cause of a "sore" that just appears out of nowhere is an insect bite or sting - and yes, i know you don't think you were bitten or stung; no one ever does. It will probably resolve in a few days. If it doesn't, or worsens, see your doctor.
