HI, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised with X-ray. Usually, these symptoms are related to the old fracture or may be a venous insufficiency. By taking an x-ray and clinical examination one can come to the conclusion and look further. If it is a fracture, then based on the type of fracture to apply cast or not will be planned. Also, if it is venous insufficiency than a Doppler can be performed and with simple medications things will be fine. Also, if you are diabetic we need to check the Blood glucose levels too. Usually such kind of discoloration can also be due to improper footwear. Post thorough assessment, the next course of action will be planned Chat Doctor.
