Hi,I am Dr. Carol Rogala (Emergency Medicine). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
A few days ago there was what appeared to be a bug bite on the back of my ankle. Now, about 3 days later it has spread to the backs of both of my ankles in large quantities. I ve been outside for 11+ hours each day wearing the same pair of shoes. Is it an allergic reaction of some sort or is it a type of warts?
