What Causes Redness & Swelling In The Ankle?
I have 10 pins in my left ankle.The ankle has become very swollen and there are red lines going sideways. When the swelling goes down overnight, the redness is like a welt, until the ankle swells again and the red is etched into the skin. What is causing the redness?
