A Bruise On The Ankle Is Causing Swelling & Black Ring Around It

I bruised my ankle. It s a bad bruise with swelling and a black ring circling a center portion ( where the impact happened) that is yellow with red strait ions and a yellow tone. It was very very tender all last week. The bruise. Is healing now but after a week the bruise is still somewaht swollen and is itching. I guess this normal healing process but the conditioned swelling makes me wonder.
