A member asked:

So basically i was scootering and fell and hit the side of my foot, its red and has red dots on it. what do i do?

Basics: If you can walk/run on it without pain you can simply watch it for a while. A cool compress & some ace wrap to reduce swelling may help. Keeping it elevated above the level of your heart can reduce swelling. If this prevents walking you should have it evaluated.
