Suggest Treatment For A Bruise On The Ankle And Varicose Veins
Hi! I have had what looks like a bruise on my right ankle. I haven t fallen or banged it it s came on very gradually & got darker. I ve had this for over a year & the skin has got quite hard & my leg looks like it has gone in a bit. I do get swollen feet & legs occasionally anyway as I have a few varicose veins. I was diagnosed with RR MS last year also & was found to be extremely anaemic. I would appreciate any advice.

It is impossible to know what the spot is without a photo.
A bruise like area that persists on the leg may be a collection of spider veins. A vascular surgeon may be able to help with both problems and is a good place to start.
