Should I Be Worried About The Rash?
I fell off a ladder and banged my shin resulting in instant bruising and swelling but no cuts. A few days after the area below the bruise started to turn pink and warm to the touch. My ankle also now hurts and is slightly swollen and bruised. Should I be worried about the rash?

Answer: Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think you may bruise which is in healing stage so have patience but if u find danger signs like excessive swelling , difficulty to walk , foul smelling discharge then meet a emergency doctor in hospital
