See a Doctor.: You need to make an appt with a podiatrist or orthopaedist. An x-ray will probably be ordered. You should apply ice 20min on 20 min off for the first 48 hrs, and rest the affected ankle.

Ecchymosis: Hello, What you describe is bruising, after a forceful trauma there is damage to the superficial veins that if traumatized will bleed into the surrounding tissues. This will usually resolve and clear up with time.
