Pain In Foot, Ankle, Hard Raised Bump, Indention Of Skin. Working In Basement Cleaning Section. Insect Bite?
My husband began to get some pain in his foot today, then it moved to his ankle. We see two spots--one looks like a mosquito bite, the other is a raised bump about the size of a quarter, which is hard. Some redness, not bad. there is also a small indention of the skin beside the larger bump. We were working in a basement cleaning out boxes. then working in the yard, so wondered if it is probably an insect bite of some sort.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The hard raised lump near the ankle is likely to be due to an allergic reaction or an inflammation in the area. An insect bite is also likely. Taking anti allergic medicines will help you.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
