Foot still has a weird color a year after the injury?

Question

July 4th 2007 i went to a party and slipped on grass and hurt my left ankle. me being a dumb drunk ran around walking on it all night not caring!

by the next day my ankle was HUGH!!

i never did go to the doctor (stupid on my part)

so i dont kno if it was a sprain, broken bone or broken ligament

but either way i stayed off it actually i couldnt fully use it for almost a whole month i was on crutches and then used a brace on it for another like week and half after that.

well my foot and toes had turned purple from the injury and eventually the color went away except for a spot under my toes.

its been over a year and that spot hasnt gone away. Its like a grayish darkish color and it gets darker when i'm in the shower for some weird reason.

What could it possible be?

Answer 1

Go to the doctor and get it checked it ..it just might be the small scar left over from the bruise..it is better to be safe than sorry

Answer 2

Contusions and bruises (bruise is a type of contusion) can take a LONG time to disappear after a big injury. Especially around joints like ankles.

My sister sprained her ankle (many times) and the bruising always takes a long time to clear up. The last time it took about 2 1/2 years to clear completely. I thought it was strange until I did a Human Kinetics Degree in University and found out its not uncommon.
