Pink skin turn purple after scab is gone
Hello sir, I've got a severe wound 3 weeks back, my foot was totally scratched, then slowly it started healing, the muscle pain is now not there bt the scabbing is getting removed and the skin underneath is dark pinkish in color and is not paining even a bit but my concern is that whenever I walk some distance it turns purple in color n no pain is felt still ... is it really healing? I very confused about this plz let me know.
N I've got tetanus injection and the antibiotics course already.

That happens. Whenever the blood circulation increases - when you walk or exercise, the colour turns darker. It is healing, not to worry. If there is no improvement in two weeks , then you may have to consult a doctor in person
