Brief Answer:
Bumps on Left feet and ankle / Under Investistagtion

Detailed Answer:
Hi,Thanks for the query to HCM virtual clinic.
I studied your query and your photograph.
In the absence of the clear view I would need more description of the lumps on the left ankle.
From whatever is percieved from your photo and query,
The bumps you have,seems to be diffuse lump and seems to be with a long standing cause behind it.

I would need more information as follows-

Please update a Side view photograph of the left ankle Joint.
How long that swelling at the ankle is there?Is it on left side only or its there at some other sites also?
Does it hurt on pressure ?
Any history of sprained ankle in the past?
Any history of trauma to the ankle or foot?
Any noise or pain while moving it up an down?
Update if any X-ray report of the old left ankle / foot injury with its report?
Any history of Arthritis of left ankle or any other joint?
As nothing much is known about your health problem above information is needed to suggest further on it.

Primary / Provisional Impression-
This bump by Inspection seems to be inflammation of Synovial lining of the ankle joint or of the left tendon sheaths on the ankle front.

Primary(Provisional) Remedy -
Hot fomentation of the left ankle front.
Volataren Gel(OTC) locally to the ankle and foot area.
Rest -if its painful

Awaiting your above information soon before I could advise you the final remedy.

Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME.
Have a good day.
