Suggest Treatment For A Itchy Brown Bruise On The Ankle

about a month ago i noticed this little red brown bruise on my ankle,it itched a little but no pain. I didn t do anything until about a week ago, because it looked almost like a ringworm, so I treated it with Lotrimin and now it s peeling and brown, in a circular motion.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response



Hello,

I have studied your case.

According to your history possibility of urticarial dermatitis is likely.
Biopsy may be needed for diagnosis. Urticarial dermatitis is an early sign of bullous pemphigoid in some patients. Eventually tense blisters appear.
Fungal infection should have resolved with your cream.

I will advise to consult your treating doctor for management.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
