Dear reddy thanks for the question.
U seem to have a vascular problem which I shall try and tackle as best I can
1) Arterial damage: If you are a chain smoker or have weight issues u could have atherosclerosis or TAO. The best test to diagnose it is by Carotid angiography although a simple examination might help
2) Venous damage: Deep vein thrombosis or a venous ulcer. A venous Doppler can easily rule it out
3) Local Trauma: Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best one. Your shoes may not be the best for your feet leading to repeated Trauma and ulceration. Change your shoes.
Let me reiterate that first please show yourself to a doctor and make sure u rule out the first 2 possibilities before going to Trauma as a diagnosis
In the meantime I suggest cycling rather than jogging
I hope this answers your question
