Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red dark spots near ankle. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like dermatitis, dry skin, eczema, heat rash or sweat dermatitis or uncomfortable footwear. Need not to worry. It is important to wear loose comfortable footwear and socks ,maintain good personal hygiene. You should avoid sharing clothes with any one. Use a powder to avoid sweat collection and apply calamine lotion at the sites of the lesion. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clindamycin , oral anti fungal or antibacterial depending upon the diagnosis .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
