What Causes Severe Itching In Ankles Of A Heart Patient?
I am 79 and several days my ankles keep itching although I have been keeping them lotioned and keep rubbing and scratching. Could this possibly have to do with lower extremity circulation? I have a stent and take a statin and blood pressure medication.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, hypersensitivity reaction is very likely, in differential diagnosis this could be scabies in either case "Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg three times in day can be used and better to confirm the scabies, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
