Question : Yesterday I noticed a very sore skin surface just above my ankle. It is very slightly pink but no other marks.
I am 78 and did spend most of Sunday a week ago flying home from the Galapagos.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

in order for me to give you an accurate answer as possible I would need to see a picture and also, maybe, fill me in with more details. Is it itchy? Is it painful? How big is it?
I’ll be waiting for your answer.

Kind regards
