What could this strange thing be?

Last night I had a sudden, terrible pain in the sole of my foot. It was very itchy, and really, really hurt - as if somebody had suddenly stuck glass in it. It hurt all the way up my leg for a few minutes and then stopped. I now have a penny sized black mark, like a bruise, there - but it can't be a bruise because I wasn't doing anything at the time to cause a bruise! It doesn't hurt anymore, and indeed didn't hurt for long anyway, but this black mark is very noticeable.

It's happened a couple of times before, but on my thumb - awful pain, itching and then whole thumb turned black.

Any ideas, please? All I can think of is an insect bite, but there's no puncture mark and no insects were seen any of the times it's happened. ????

I'd probably guess insect bite too. Can you post a picture?

Thank you. :) Nobody wants to see a picture of my foot! It is the size of a penny and almost perfectly round and blue/black. When it was my hand (twice) the whole thumb looked black and bruised. Strange!

Anyone else near you when it happened? Are you being stabbed by pixies? Smile

Sounds really odd.

Look up Achenbach syndrome.

Thank you. It looks like it might be popping blood vessels.

Find a similar pic online & show us that?

Sorry, I didn't know before I googled after my first post and it did look likely.

It seems like a weird phenomenon and not cause for alarm at least Smile
