Suggest Treatment For Blisters And Rashes On Ankles Sparine Area

I sprained my ankle 7 days ago. The ankle was swelled and bruised over most of my foot. I could not put weight on it for a day, but after that I have been able to walk. Starting yesterday I noticed a little more swelling at the ankle joint and I have small blisters on the ankle. The blisters or maybe a rash itch like mad and burn at times. I have sprained my ankle before but never had the blisters or rash? I have not had x-rays

Hello,

You may be having blisters secondary to a sprained ankle. The blisters usually occur after 48 hours and are usually seen after severe ankle sprain. I would suggest you to get an X-ray of the injured area to rule out bony injury. If on X-ray, there is a bony injury then you may require a plaster after a orthopedic consultation otherwise it can be treated with elevation rest and crepe bandage.

Wish you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Santosh S. Jeevannavar, Orthopedic Surgeon
