Have Had Fluid Filled Bump On Ankle, Noticed Sudden Size Increase And Disappeared. What Is It?
I am an ice skating coach and have been skating for 38 years. I've had a large fluid like bump on the outside of my left ankle for about a year. Just yesterday when I put my foot into my ice skate, I noticed how big it was and it was being pushed up in my skate. I've never seen this before. Two hours later when I took my skate off, the bump was gone. What was it?

Hi
Thanks for your query.
Looks like you had developed a friction blister over your feet.
It seems to have vanished due to injury from the ice skates.
Now you just need to apply a topical steroid over the affected area.
Take antihistamines if there is itching.
Wear soft footwear in future to prevent recurrence.
Hope it helps
