Reddish area on back of calf

2017-05-19 15:42:16
Good day. My husband is a over the road truck driver and just called me about an issue with his calf on one leg. Said it's warmish feeling on the inside but not to the touch, kind of tingly/numb, a bit swollen, and seems to move/spread? Is there a chance it's a blood clot or am I jumping to conclusions
