Non-itchy Rash On The Ankle. Pins And Needles In The Leg. Reason?
Hi,
I have had a deep red circular rash on my inner right ankle for several months now. Recently another round bigger rash, the same in look, has gradually appeared just a couple of inches above it. I can also see other small rashes developing on my calf now. It's not itchy, just looks horrible, I also have pins and needles regularly in this leg - what could it be?? Many thanks. Rob

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You did not mention any itch or any other symptoms other than the rash.
Probably it is a condition called as granuloma annulare.
This is very non specific and can be kept under contol using mild steroids.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
