A bruise on the ankle is causing swelling & black ring around it
Patient: I bruised my ankle. It s a bad bruise with swelling and a black ring circling a center portion ( where the impact happened) that is yellow with red strait ions and a yellow tone. It was very very tender all last week. The bruise. Is healing now but after a week the bruise is still somewaht swollen and is itching. I guess this normal healing process but the conditioned swelling makes me wonder. Doctor: HiThis should be seen by an orthopedic doctor to diagnose or rule out ankle sprain, hematoma in joint. It may require complete immobilization in ankle strapping , if hematoma, joint aspiration.Avoid standing or walking for 7 days, hot fermentation and anti inflammatory medicines neededBest wishes
