What Causes Blackish Discoloration Between The Calf And Ankle Area?
I have had multiple knee surgeries including knee replacement. I developed DVT I think because of the surgeries. Now my skin between my calf and ankle is blackish and not much circulation. No one seems to be able to tell me if this is reversible or if there is treatments besides compression socks. Do you have any advice?
