Brief Answer:
hi and welcome to hcm

Detailed Answer:
It sounds like very serious condition and further tests are required. First,you need to rule out blood flow disorder,which can be venous or arterial so you need to do doppler ultrasound. Also this can be sign of hematologic clotting disorders too while other causes include infectious diseases. You need treatment with granuflex compresses at this stage. Wish you good health.regards
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
