What Could Cause Itchy Rashes In The Ankles?
I have this rash that popped up on my ankles and top of my foot that looks similar to ringworm but I know for sure it is not. It s not as dark red and doesn t form a ring. It is raised kind of harder skin somewhat discolored and itches occasionally. It worsens in heat.

Hi,
It may be sort of allergy. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. There may be some triggering factor. Soap,grass,detergent,dust,wool...etc may be the culprit. Avoid soap bath. Apply mild steroid cream on the affected parts. Take cetirizine 10 mg daily. Avoid contact with suspected allergens.
Hope this helps.
