Ankle discoloration (or corona phlebectatica) is a circulatory problem that typically arises when you have a condition called venous insufficiency. This shows up as clusters of very purple veins that can cover the ankles and feet. They represent the end effects of long standing venous pressure that pops out tiny veins normally found in those areas. To illustrate, imagine a waterfall. The water falling down is the venous insufficiency and the spray at the bottom is the ankle discoloration.
