i have an area about the size of a nicket/maybe a quarter on my left foot,just right up from my heel as the base of the heel goes up along side of my ankle. it is sore, looks red with some slight dark area on the side of the heel. Hurts when I apply pressure. Could it be a vein?

Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to a vein or deep vein thrombosis.
In my opinion, it could be local inflammation.
Anyway, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam, in order to decide which tests to perform ( an X ray or a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
