What Causes Swelling And Itching In The Ankles?
My husband woke up yesterday with very swollen & itchy ankles, speed to top of feet , painful , as well. He thought maybe it was a reaction to a spider bite??? Put hydrocortisone on it and took an allergy pill. This morning he woke up and his feet/ankles were much better, still a little swelling , but there were large dark red blotches...but now his hands and wrists are extremely swollen and warm to the touch

Hello,
I have gone through your query. It may be due to dermatitis.
For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally.
Take tablet loratidine for itching.
You can apply aloe Vera gel alternatively.
Along with that avoid allergens, harsh cosmetic products.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
