Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of redness on ankle, my treatment advice is -

1. Avoid standing for long periods of time and keep pillows below legs while sleeping.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 3 months. If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
