Briggsy Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I sprained my ankle 9 days ago when I fell walking down a mountain. It swelled up. I rested it, strapped it up, used ice and elevated it. Now the swelling is going down and the pain is a lot less. I have developed a rash, which sort of looks like psioriasis, near the base of my toes and under my ankle bone. These are the 2 places the fluid drained down to. Is this normal and will it go away in time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Might possibly be skin irritation from the compression bandage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Possibly but the compression bandage didn't go down to the base of the toes where the rash is worst. In my worst fears, it is gangrene and my foot is going to have to be amputated. I think I am imagining stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfmuc Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Better try to find a dermatology-clinic or a hospital in your area. All hospitals have ER and usually are very helpful. And not expensive too. And do it today! - On Saturday clinics often are working from 9 to 12 a.m. and from 5 to 7 p.m. Posting a picture might be helpful(?). In which part of TH do you live? Good luck and get well soon. And don't forget: do it today... Clinic and hospital not same, same. คลินิก โรงพยาบาล Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel like that id be in a hospital in no time, its only money and will give you peace of mind at the least a cure at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Looks like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robblok Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Im no Dr but i doubt that could be gangrene. It look s just like a rash. But if you really are worried just let them check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yes, I am sure it will clear up in time. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 2 questions: 1. Does it itch? 2. Have you been taking or applying any medication (oral or topical)? What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 1. No or hardly at all. 2. None whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBN Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Looks more like a contact dermatitis.. May be unrelated to the injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
