What Causes Red Patch On My Left-outside Ankle?
Saturday morning I woke up with a red patch of warm skin on my left-outside ankle. Its itchy but not scaly. When I first flex it or stand to walk it feels like it was super tight skin and being moved for the 1st time. I have no bites or known reasons for this reaction. The only thing I did different was on Friday night I took some Benadryl before bed as I was feeling kind of itchy on my back from working outside.

Hello dear,
i think it should be insect bite or some allergic lesion as it suddenly appeared and itch too.
In my opinion you should apply cream containing clobetasol and neomycin.to get rid of that.along with oral antihistamines like levocetrizine 10mg at night.
Thank uou
