Can Playing Ice Hockey Result In Having Brown Spots On Ankles?
Hello. My name is kyle, I'm 17 and I have little brown spots on my ankles. I've had them for a very long time. They look almost dirty, but no matter how much scrubbing I do the brown spots stay. I have no idea what they could be from, although I think its worthy to mention I play ice hockey. Could that be the cause?
Thank you for your time

it can be because in some people due to cold the blood circulation is hampered lesding to the spots
or it can be allergic reaction to something which started suddenly everytime the allerhen is exposed the reaction occr at same spot means fixed spot allergies
need to investigate for cause only then it can be treated in my view

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. Playing ice hockey will result in such type rash due to the temperature difference. I also suggest you to have blood workout done to rule out blood disorders. Thank you.
