Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for your query.

Yes, you are right, it seems to be an allergic reaction which may be due to food , dust, pollen , medicines, infections, insect bites etc.
Since your child's left ankle is hurting, try to look for any mark suggestive of insect bite.

He might require a short course of steriods and anti histamie syrup.
I suggest you to consult a pediatrician for proper examination and treatment.

Hope this solves your query.
