A member asked:
I got hit by a softball last night on my ankle and it's swollen and there is a bruise on it with two red dots in the middle. should i be concerned?

Unlikely: this is common with trauma that you have described. if you have full range of motion and you can walk on it, i would ice and rest for a couple days. if red streaks develop from the redness you need to be seen. if your having trouble walking, evaluation and possibly an xray may be indicated
