[|Human|] I had surgery on my left ankle to get a bone growth removed because I have osteochondromatosis and it was causing problems. However, 2 weeks later, my foot still has a very noticeable discoloring on the top of my foot. It starts towards the ankle and continues up through my big toe (the darkest area). I thought removing the growth would make the coloring go away but it s just gotten worse. Any opinions? Thanks!
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have discoloration on foot after undergoing ankle surgery. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query pigmented purpuric dermatitis (chambers disease) or psoriasis arthritis. It can also occur due to hematoma caused by internal bleeding, infection like fungal or bacterial or necrosis. I suggest you to apply a moderately potent topical steroid e.g. triamcinolone acetone 0.1% cream Or mometasone furnace 0.1% cream, twice daily for a few days apply ice pack twice a day, also take vitamin C tablets for a week for quick recovery. If condition persist then consult your surgeon for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may also refer you to dermatologist. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
