Question: I just noticed a line indentation on the top of my right ankle.
Brief Answer:
?Varicose Vein on top of right ankle/ Under Evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.
I reviewed facts of your query and updated picture, in context to your health issues.
I also reviewed your worry lately from this condition.
My Opinion-
In My opinion, in the given situation you seem to have leaking ankle perforator vein with accompanied un-diagnosed- Varicose Veins, which needs to be investigated.
Do's Suggested-
I would Suggest Consults with Surgeon and if need Vascular Surgeon, who would assess physically the nature of this linear indentation at site of reddish line with indentation on top of your right ankle.
USG scanning with Colour Doppler study would fix the cause of this linear indentation above right ankle.
More guidance would be possible, if you submit more information in this regard.
Next appointment-
After 2 weeks to review treatment .
If you update more information/ details upon these suggestions,I would give further suggestions on medicines to correct your health issues.
