What Causes Itchy Rashes On The Ankle?

I was trimming shrub at my house two weeks ago today. When I was finished - my skin on ankle itched but there was no rash or marks. About 3 to 4 hours later I notice two red marks on my ankle - one about 3/4 of an inch in length and the other directly below the first, about 1/2 inch in length. No pain but really bad itching - I used calamine lotion - marks filled with clear fluid and would ooze. I am now using 99% certified active aloe that I had previously used on a burn. Relieves the itching a lot but still filling with fluid and oozing. I do not know if I was bitten by an insect or what happened. Little concerned that this has been going on two weeks.

This might be an allergic reaction from the grass that you were cutting. you can try an antihistamine, with the calamine lotion that you were applying
