How To Remove Red Rashes Above Ankle?
Hello, I have a red rash (approx 2 x 2 ) on the inner part of my left leg above my ankle. It is hot to the touch and somewhat hard. I put hot compresses but this is not helping. I have had it for 2 weeks. The area is not spreading but will not go away.

Hi.
The most probable reason for such 2X2 rd rash on the inner aspect of the inside of the ankle is most probably due o varicose vein related and will not go away unless the Varicosity is treated.
If Varicose veins are not present, then this may be dermatitis and should consult a Dermatologist as visual impression is the most important thing that will decide the diagnosis and further treatment.
If Varicose veins are present, consult a Vascular Surgeon and get treated as there are various methods.
