A member asked:
I hit my leg below my knees was swollen. i put ice and wrapped it with a bandage for a week. now i look at my foot on the side of my foot is purple?

Bandaging can do: that. I find this happens often wafter doing surgery on one part of the foot and after removing the bandage there is purple in another part of the foot. I think the bandaging possibly causes blood vessels to break or leak and the blood spilling causes the black and blue marks. No worries should disappear soon.
