What Causes Swollen Ankles With Red Spots Around Them?
My girlfriend has swollen ankles with red spots just around the ankles! She worked on her feet for 14 hrs and this occurred after sitting for 30 mins after her shift! Her ankles feel warm to touch and the night before she had fever which caused fever blister on her lip? Any suggestions?
The swollen ankles with red spots can be related to a viral infection. The swelling can subside after taking rest. Few blood tests are needed for proper diagnosis.
