Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

It will be helpful if you give more information on :-
1. Any history of injury or fall?
2. Any evidence of insect bite?
3. Any rashes present?
4. Any recent history of fever?

It will be more helpful if you upload an image of your left ankle. You can use the site's uploader to upload images.
