Ankle Spots
by TheMusicGuy, Jul 29, 2008 11:47AM
Please Help,
This all started with one spot on one ankle. I went to a doctor and she said it was dermatitis and gave me some cortisone that didn't work. I went to another doctor, he was puzzled, gave me some different cream, Mometasone and it didn't work. Now I have many. It doesnt hurt or itch. It is under the skin. The first spot appeared about 2 years ago. The other spots are at least a year old. Can anyone please tell me what this is?
Thank you for your help,
P.S. more pics here http://internetwebdesign.net/AnkleSpots/

Ankle rash could be caused due to various reasons including - dermatitis, dry skin, eczema, heat rash or sweat dermatitis, uncomfortable footwear, etc.
It is important to wear lose comfortable footwear and maintain good personal hygiene. Use a powder to avoid sweat collection and apply calamine lotion at the sites of the lesion.
You could take oral antihistamine or antiallergic medications for the itching. Apply calamine lotion at the sites.
You would probably need antibacterial and antifungal local application medications and a course of antibiotics if the lesion does not resolve.
Consult your doctor for a clinical examination. Do get your blood sugar checked too.
Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.
