What Could Be The Small Raised Rash On The Ankle?
I have a rash that is not raised on the leg just above the ankle. It showed up 3 weeks ago and was very small area and light in color. Yesterday, it turned dark red and has spread. I noticed yesterday it is on my right ankle now? What could this be? I take plavix and lipitor and started these medications in May of this year.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a contact dermatitis. I suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application. I also recommend to use an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
