Suggest Treatment For Ankle Swelling
About a week ago my feet and ankles swelled with a red blotchy rash. When i massage I leave indents in my skin, much like playdough. the skin takes its original form a few moments later but is still swollen. Should I be concerned and is there anything I can do to resolve this with out medical attention.

Hello,
It could be a sprain or contusion. As a first line management, you can apply ice packs for faster recovery. If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
