Swelling Red Spots In Leg And Ankles. Turns To Brown And Green. No Fever. Reason?
my son has been getting red spots on his lower legs and ankles. They start as hive looking bumps, then turn into red/purplish bruise looking spots. They swell up like an injury. Then they turn brownish and then greenish. A few times his ankles have swollen up. The whole process takes about 2 days. Any ideas? No fever.
