My son who is a high school runner has bruising and blood blisters below his ankle but doesn't seem to have any pain, problems running, or even hopping on one foot. He's going to the doctor next week, but I was wondering if other runners have experienced this and it was a symptom of a serious or ongoing injury that would prevent him from training. He's hoping to run at the D3 level in college next year.

"Below his ankle?" There is a lot of foot "below the ankle." Could you be more specific? Specifically, where is it in relation to where the shoe touches the foot.
For example, 1/2 inch below the ankle bone and about 1 inch towards the front of the foot where the collar of the shoe touches the side of the foot on the inside of the foot.
Going to Dr is good. Posting on here not so good. Hopefully it is nothing.
It seems bruised (but with no sensitivity) directly below the ankle bone to about a half inch below where the collar of the shoe meets the foot. It's only on the left ankle, and a lot of his running is on asphalt roads with a bit of a crown. Maybe his ankle is rolling slightly. A doctor's appointment has been made, but in the meantime, I was trying to figure out if it's a common issue.
I've been running for 45 years and for as long as I can remember I've had spiderweb veins and permanent blood blisters in the area just below my ankle bones. More on the inside than the outside but always looked like an old person's varicose veins (even though I AM old now!) Never been a problem. I don't think there is anything to worry about unless they are planning to be a foot model :)
