My cast has been taken off my ankle with 4days but i noticed y'day that the ankle changed colour?

Question

It has gone a light grey compared to my other ankle.. and it is quite obvious aswel compared to my sole. i aslo had surgery on it to place wire in to the bone i am 16 years of age what is wrong should i be worried ?

Answer 1

Is it painful? If the answer is " yes" go to the doctor.  If it not in pain, just give a time: it is normal reaction  of skin after the cast

Answer 2

Yes - you need to go back to the doctor and have that ankle checked out.

Answer 3

no, your ankle has been cooped up in a cast, no sun, moisture locked in.  I spent 2 months in a full  body cast when I was your age, after a few weeks it will be back to normal.. it might take a little less time or a little more, but it will be fine!   I had casts from surgery on and off in my life,  all my skin is just fine.  nothing to worry about!!!
