What Could Itchy Red Bite Marks With White Pus Bumps On Ankles Indicate?

Hi
Yes I went to a church concert and took my shoes off after I the way home my
Ankles started inching like crazy.
The next day I have red bites and
Bumps on both ankles and some on my
Right leg. Some have like a white
Pus bump. What could this be??

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your query it seems that you have been bitten by some insects or bugs leading to allergic reaction to the toxin that it releases under the skin while biting and it can cause itching and formation of bumps and there can also be infection leading to pus formation and the white bumps can be abscess..
You can take anti-allergics like fexofenadine[ allegra] or levocetrizine, take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Advil,and apply steroid ointment over the bumps..
The pus filled bumps can be cleaned with antiseptic solution and apply triple antibiotic ointment over it to reduce infection..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
