Suggest Treatment For Broken Capillaries And Bruised In Ankle?
Hi! I am a 63 year old female. I have capillaries that have broken on my left ankle. As a result my ankle looks bruised but the discoloration does not go away. What can I do to prevent further breaking and is there anything that will eliminate the bruising?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to bruising, probably due to a micro-trauma. I recommend to use a vitamin K cream for local application. I also recommend to check the coagulation rate and hemorrhage rate for further evaluation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
