Hello Sir,

It depends on the cause of this blue foot and when did it appear?

The situation you describe sounds rather strange to me and would require a medical consultation in my opinion. Indeed, the appearance of bruising (ecchymosis) without having been bumped is a signal to go see a doctor.

Sorry I can't be more helpful at this time. Please feel free to get back to me with any questions about a medication or diagnosis.

Tell me about it,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
