Hi!
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com

I have read your query and can well understand your concern.

A spontaneous bluish discoloration on the foot may be due to ecchymosis which can be spontaneous and due to causes other than trauma, eg, certain drugs, bleeding disorders, topical steroids usage may lead to it.

Topical heparin containing preparations can be applied over it for faster resolution.


Hope this helps!
