Red welt on inner thigh

Red welt on inner thigh

A strange, slightly swollen, 6-inch long, oval-shaped welt appeared on my upper inner thigh about 48 hours ago. It is slightly tender to the touch, but I have not had any trauma to this area. Is this something I should have checked out? I've never seen anything like this on my body.
Thank you!

Hello,
It could have been due to unknown trauma to the area, allergic reaction or contact dermatitis. If it is due to unintentional injury, blood under the skin which causes the discoloration should be totally reabsorbed by the body in three weeks or less.

If it persists then please get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
