What Causes Freckle On Foot After A Surgery For Broken Ankle?

I first noticed freckle on my left foot about four years ago after a football injury (broken ankle+ related surgery a year later). First asked the doctor about it aroubd the same time. He mentioned that petachiae were common after an injury. Cut to now - my left foot s freckles have not gone away, and a nearly identicle pattern has emerged on my right foot. What coukd be causing this? iI have exzema, asthma, and a fewallergies - so had assumed it eas related to one of those. I am now beginning to get worried as theybhave not gone away.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and I can assure you that it is not related with your ankle fracture or surgery.Most probably it is due to abnormal shape foot arches or foot wear.It is also common due to foot allergy.
I would recommend you to change in foot wear and also consult with your dermatologist.If there is any itching or rashes along with freckles than it almost confirms that it is a skin issue.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
