Had fire ant bites on foot and major swelling next day chair falls on my same foot. put icepack on foot but now have dark spot that won't go away?

Likely just a bruise: from chair. continue icing, topical steroids and antihistamine. If worsens instead of improves, make appointment with doctor, and watch out for those chairs
