A member asked:

A medium size bruise appeared on my foot by my ankle. it doesn't hurt and the only reason i noticed it is because i looked down and thought it was dirt or something like that and tried to wipe it off.

"Bruise": Relax! If what you report is correct you need not worry about your foot and ankle. If you are still concerned please see your doctor!
