Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red blotches and swelling in ankles and lower legs which are due to allergic reaction or body's response to external stimuli which can be a allergen.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to try to figure out what exactly causing red blotches in your case , give cold compresses to affected area to get rid of itching , take benadryl and consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis doctor will take history and prescribe steroid medicines .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
