Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
well..............I suppose you can help me. quite recently, I developed a itchy spot just above my ankle. It becomes itchy and then it subsides. but I am alarmed at the dark circular spot that has developed. I knew a friend who had to have his leg amputated, because he developed similar marks around the ankle!! This is my concern. I have not shown it to my doctor, but wonder what all this is about!!
Hi, from history it seems that there might be having some insect bite giving localized allergic reaction. Or there can be fungal infection on the part. Take some antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl for 2-3 days. If there is no improvement then consult your doctor and get clinically examined. Ok and take care.
