I have a round knot that has come up on my outer right leg, about5 inches above my ankle. It came up really fast (about 5 minutes). It's about 2 inches round. I put ice on it but took it off when it didn't do any good. It's not a bruise and I didn't hit it on anything. anyone have any ideas? No $ for Doctors at the moment.

It might be an insect bite. You can make a paste out of baking soda with a little water and put it on there and let it dry. It will draw out poison. Keep doing this a few times and if it is an insect bite, it should make it go away. Once when someone got a black widow bite I had to do this for a whole week to get all the poison out, but they did not tell me about it until a day after they were bitten. This works well for wasp stings, also. It really does work, especially if you put it on right after a bite. If it is not an insect bite, you might want to go to the e.r. because something like that is not at all normal.

Go to the emergency room, they have to treat you. Most hospitals have funds available for people with no health insurance. Call an ambulance if you have to. The paramedics will help you.

don't give in to people who are like Oh My god. But go see a hospital urgent care center, or ER, or your doc. the sooner the better.
It could be anumber of things, but why risk your health.

See a doctor. It's a clot. Go to hospital!

did you get a bug bite, or do you have any idea what caused it?
