spreaking bumps
by jenn101, Aug 27, 2007 06:04PM
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.

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.
