Trauma is the most frequent cause. Hitting your ankle against a piece of furniture will do it, and many more examples. Internal bleeding occurs with very little trauma, for those who are on blood thinners.
ligimant damage see your local doctor
Gravity is pulling the blood released in the bruise from the shin downward to the ankle.
No
I hit my shin on a concrete step 3 days later my ankle is swollen and bruised and i can not walk
Yes
Well,you could do lots to hurt an ankle but,it really hurts. When you hurt your ankle you either, break the bone, sprain it, or just twist it. To heal it, you should put an ice pack on it and keep it still. If it starts to get worse talk to your parents or doctor.
Probably means that you sprained your ankle. Or twisted it. Don't move it too much, and put some ointment onto it. Get well soon!
bruise
Yes
Usually within 24 hours a bruise appears--IF it will bruise. Not all bumps cause bruises. Between 2 to 4 days, the bruise will be at full dark colors before it begins to lighten.
As far as I know I've never seen it cause a rash, but it causes you to bruise fairly easy I have an iron deficiency and I can brush against something and it cause me to bruise. It could be possible what your seeing isn't a rash but a bruise. Or your rash is caused by something else.
They shouldn't. If your bruise is itching it is probably a rash. There is always the off-chance that you've got a rash and a bruise, though.
