Hello there,
Itching around the ankles when you have no clearcut trigger may be due to a blood vessel change. If you notice veins more prominent than usual on your legs you may want to visit a general surgeon and get his opinion. Otherwise you can try having tab cetrizine for 3 days(one tablet once a day) and see if the itching is cured.
Hope this helps,
Please feel free to ask me any further queries,
