Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Cause and plan of Treatment-
In my opinion on the given data,your son seem to have bug bite with bruise and lump due to edema at the ankle.
Voltaren gel locally would resolve it in a day or two.Surely this is not normal and you urgently need to consult ER Surgeon who would take corrective steps.Hope this would resolve your issues.Act fast.
So keep cool and Consult your ER Surgeon, if need be , who would treat it accordingly.
So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
Write good reviews and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advise.
Have a Good Day.
