spreaking bumps

about 2 weeks ago I got a rash of some sort on one leg.  It itched a little and then the spots started to get larger.  There is one just above my ankle and it is changing colors and now my ankle all the way down to my toes are swollen and I am having a hard time walking on it.  Is it possibly a bug bit or something?  Please, help.

go to the doctor, you need someone to clinically evaluate it. swelling is a sign of infection.

Hi,

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.

Regards.
