This doesn't look like a blood clot, does it

5 weeks post first (Pfeizer) jab.
2 weeks ago I had a swelling on my shin right in the middle with a bruise. It was a big bruise with absolutely no memory of hurting myself. Bruising has significantly gone down but is still discoloured and still what feels like a plum sized lump under it. Painful off and on, itchy off and on. Skin isn't hot.
Can I just check that this definately doesn't look like it would be a clot? Images I looked at all look more hot and swollen than this.
Really dont want to waste a pharmacist or gp time for a bruise 😖

Have you measured the circumference of both legs with a tape measure?

I hadn't but just did, 1/2 a cm difference so minimal
