What Causes Swollen Skin Rashes On The Ankles And Hands?

Skin rashes . . . Swollen and oozing on left ankle . . . Also on hands . . . Ankle area has spread from three tiny dots that looked at first like bites . . . Have been treating myself with herbs etc. should I be soaking this area in something? Do I need to consult with a dermatologist . . . I m open to and prefer a natural/alternative approach rather than using steroids or other drugs. I also have photos available to send by email? Thanks, Jane

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction.

I recommend you to use antihistamines daily such as Levocetirizine.

I also recommend using steroid lotion for relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
