Bites Near Ankle, Red And Itchy. What Is The Pus?
About 2 weeks ago I woke up (after having been outside all day and night) with many small bites near my ankes and on my calves. They were small, reddish and very itchy. They are still present but now very small, mostly flesh colored but appear to have a small amoutn of liquid or puss underneath. What could this be?

hi small itchy reddish scars on the ankles and on the calves can be papular urticaria due to mosquito bites or ant bites.or any insect bites.
they can be treated with regular moistersier application and application of hhfudic ointment can cure them.use a antibiotic and antihistamine for symptomatisc relief,
to protect from them use clean clothes worn fully all over the body.avoid water to stagnate.,keep the surroundings clean and use mosquito nets at the night time
