What Causes Circles On Ankle?

My son had two small circles on his ankle that appeared around 6 months. He is now 26 months and they have grown together making one circle about quarter size. Went to doctor and they ruled out ring worm. It looks like a rubber band under the skin the way it s raised. What could it be?

Hello,

It is important consulting with a dermatologist for a physical exam. They could be a skin hyper-pigmentation, but it is important consulting with a dermatologist first.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
