Ankle Is Itchy & Swollen. Both Ankles Itch At Different Times. Bug Bite Or Allergic?
I have noticed that my left ankle was itchy & swollen about a week ago. Thought I had a bug bite. After about two days it seemed to get better. But two days ago, my right ankle started to itch & was swollen. I'm not sure if it's a bug bite, allergic reaction, or what. Kind of weird that it happened to both ankles at different times.

Hello
THANKS for visiting HCM
since you have itching on both ankles followed by swelling probably you are suffering from DERMATITIS.This is an allergic reaction.
