Suggest Remedy For Painful Purple Patches Around Ankle
Question: I have a painful dark/blak/purple ptaches around my ankle - could this be vercousis veins?
Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be varicose veins!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Varicose veins present with dilated and tortuous veins. The description of your symptoms is very unlikely to be varicose veins. They are more suggestive of possible blood evasion into the surrounding kin tissue. I will suggest that you send a picture image for review and more information about these patches that you have reported.
In all, unlikely to be varicose veins. I will like to review an image for more information.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
