What Causes Red And White Discoloration On Ankle?

I have red and White blotch discolouration on the outside of my ankle (one side only) which is v unsightly - have poor circulation in the lower legs for years even though I exercise a lot and am very light (skinny) . I take Cardicor medication for HOCM and wonder if the redness is just blood accumulation. The cosmetic appearance does worry me but should I have it seen by a doctor - the pharmacist commented on it today when I was getting dressings for cut on leg - many thanks for any advice you could give

Hello,

It may be due to foot injury. For that you may require ankle x ray after orthopedic surgeon consultation. For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
