What Causes Red Circle Around Each Of The Ankle Bones?
My two year old cousin has a purple, now red circle around each of his outer ankle bones. It has been there for a long time (months). It was mild at sight. However, in the past week it (both) have become very red and larger. He doesnt complain and it doesnt seem to itch or irritate him. Is this something that signals a more serious conditon?

hi,
as mentioned by you first need to know the age of your cousin. As sometime varicose veins might be there depending upon the age and other factors. usually in the beginning the varicose veins don't pain. but on a later stage it might give symptoms of pain
Also at times, it is a skin color changes for which a dermatologist can help after the thorough examination of the skin.
with the grace of God I wish your cousin a good health
