Suggest Treatment For Red, Itchy Rashes On The Ankles
Hi. Sporadically, I have a red, itchy blotch or rash appear on my ankles, top of feet, wrist, and some areas of my back (low and between shoulders). I ll be watching tv and they will just appear on my ankle (usually just one) literally - I feel an itch coming on and I look at my foot and there is a botch of red rash and it itches. It calms with cortisone cream. Then, it will go away. Any ideas? I have not switched detergents, soap, etc. Thank you.

Hello,
It would be better to be seen by your doctor however I don't think this is a serious thing. If it doesn't disappear by itself than consult your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Jnikolla, Pulmonologist
