I have a light reddish lump on the calf of my left leg. It measures about one cm by 5 cm. It is tender to the touch. I have vericose veins in both legs and wear compression stockings everyday. Should I be concerned about DVT by the description I have given or could it be something else? Should this be an immediate concern on a Saturday evening at 8:30?
Normally DVT won't present as local swelling. It causes generalized swelling of limb. You may have a growth so getting a MRI done will be good option. Moreover, if its warm, and you have any symptoms than it could be infection also.
