Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I fell off a ladder and banged my shin resulting in instant bruising and swelling but no cuts. A few days after the area below the bruise started to turn pink and warm to the touch. My ankle also now hurts and is slightly swollen and bruised. Should I be worried about the rash?
Answer: Hello, Thank you for using Healthcaremagic. I read your question and understood your concern. I think you may bruise which is in healing stage so have patience but if u find danger signs like excessive swelling , difficulty to walk , foul smelling discharge then meet a emergency doctor in hospital Dr. Sandeep patil
