Suggest Treatment For Black Spots On The Right Ankle

Brief Answer:
Eczema
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It's looking like eczema.
I treat such cases with a mild topical steroid cream like cortisone to be applied twice daily for a week and antihistamine tablet daily in night.
These medications are safe and usually available over the counter.
You can try this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
