Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of cellulitis (infection of skin) is more likely in right ankle.
So better to consult doctor and get done clinical examination of right ankle.
You will need antibiotics, glycerin magnesium sulphate dressing, limb elevation etc.
Also rule out diabetes.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
