Suggest Medication For A Bump Near The Ankle Bone

Hi, I have a tiny bump on the fleshy part just below the outside of my ankle bone. It has been really itchy for about 1 year now, not anymore though and in the last couple of weeks I m getting a tingly, achy, strange feeling when I stretch my ankle, as if something is about to snap. Any ideas??

Hi,Dear thanks for the query to HCM virtual clinic.
I studied your query in full details updated from you.I understood your health concerns.
Based on your query data, In my opinion You seem to have Ganglion lump which snaps when stretching your ankle.Itch/tingly/strange feeling is due to Ganglion Cyst only.
X-ry of anke and CT study would confirm its origin from Synovial joint / or tendon sheaths.
Treatment-
Endoscopic Laser Ablation of Synovial Histiocytoma-a hamaromatous swelling would resolve this issue forever.
No medications would help it,as its chronic.
Other causes-could be bursitis on anterior ankle/ or synovial granuluma, which needs to be ruled out in your case.
Hope this would resolve your query and worry.
Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME.I would love to help you out
Awaiting for any further query.
Wish you fast recovery from this intriguing health problem.
Have a Good Day.
