Sudden Bleeding in ankle
Hello doctor, my mother aged 58yrs who is not on any Bp nor Diabetic medicine. But she had noticed often that during taking bath and while scrubing her leg there is thin high pressure bleeding from her ankle which stops after a while and spot is later turned dark in colour as shown in the picture. She doesn't have any pain nor swelling. So what should be done to control such bleedings? Any treatment needed? Can you please suggest.. thank you
