Hi, sprained my ankle a week ago and it appears to be healing but I had a lot of black and blue under my ankle but that went away for about two day. Now my toes are black and blue. Is this something I should be concerned with or just part of the healing process?
Hi, Due to blunt injury there can be hematoma collection. The bleeding that occurs result in hematoma collection. Over a period of time, as hematoma resolves it cause local skin symptoms around the hematoma. Continue ice application, and thrombhophobe ointment may help. Use splint or compressive crêpe bandage to reduce swelling. Take precaution to avoid infection around hematoma. Hope this answers your query.
