Hi itchy ankle becoming sore can be chronic lichenified eczema.it is mainly due to dry skin.it starts as a small lesion and spreads due to chronic itching .i do not think they are related to sore throat .it can be treated by atarax 25 mg at night.antibiotic twice daily and application of moisteriser along with propysalic ointment can cure it.moisteriser should be applied daily to prevent recurrences
