What Causes Dark Purple Ring Around Both Ankles?
About two weeks ago I notice a dark purple ring around just above both my ankles and they are still there and haven t went away. Diabetis does not run in my family and I don t know what would cause this. About two years ago I did have several stints put in and now take heart medicines for this. Let me know what you think. Also I am 6ft3inches tall an weight 194lbs.

Hi, thank you for choosing HCM,
My opinion is that you shouldn't worry about this,
It may be due to overweight bearing on your ankles...
Keep ankle rest for few days, it will resolve,
Meanwhile, do master check and evaluate any other cause,
Hope this information helps you.
