Question : bumps side ankle itch
Brief Answer:
a steroid cream and oral antihistamine can be added
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It may be a localized allergic reaction to some substance that came into contact with that particular area.
You may want to consider using at least a mild steroid cream along with the dermarest. EG hydrocortisone, this can be applied twice daily.
An oral antihistamine such as benadryl or zyrtec or allegra or claritine, would also help with the itching.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
