What Causes Yellow Discoloration Around The Right Ankle?
I recently noticed a yellow color around my right ankle and it goes up on the front of my shin. Ankle knob is swollen. Red mark on the inside of same foot about the size and length of a pen. I can take a picture if someone sends me an email. Thank you, Sandi
It could be eczema. As first-line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief.
If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. You can also send a picture of the lesion in the follow-up query for better clinical assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
