Brown spots & swelling ankle, what is wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The brown: Might be venous stasis dermatitis resulting from incompetence of the veins. If this is the problem elevation while at rest and compression if not contraindicated is recommended along with a vascular consultation.
