What Does A Lump On The Ankle Indicate?
hello, my mother broke both her ankles about 20 years which she has screws in her ankles. For the past year the left ankle has developed a nodule of some sort on the outside of the ankle bone. It bleeds and scabs up with swelling on the ankle and foot. Could this be some kind of infection?
