Hi. i wore very tight dress socks. when i took them off i had a very big bruise on my ankle. is this concerning?

You probably: ought to have some clotting studies (eg: Platelet Count, PT INR) (These are simple blood tests) Hope this helps! Dr Z

Sock it to me baby.: Just how tight were those socks? It sounds like they were on the verge of being tourniquets. You probably caused a leak in a superficial vein. As long as you are not showing signs of bruising elsewhere, I think you will be okay. Applying heat may help dissipate the blood faster. If any further bruising occurs, you might see a specialist.
