About a week ago I hit my ankle area pretty bad and it was bruised for a while. But today when I woke up from my nap I noticed this discoloration of my foot that I think wasn't there before. Is this a life threatening blood clot caused by the injury or just a hematoma?
The part that is red discolored is not even the part that received the trauma. The part of the foot above it was. So why is there discoloration there?
Please take a look:

There isn't much pain, just a slight burning sensation every now and then around the bruise.
I need an answer soon please so I can relax and go back to sleep for my midterms in the morning!
Thanks
