Rule out Lisfranc: If you have plantar ecchymosis you may or may not have an occult Lisfranc injury. You need to visit an orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in foot and ankle surgery to get imaging and a full history and exam.

There are any number of possibilities that could be causing your condition.
