Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Reddish Purple Splotchy Rash In Ankle, Swelling, Painful. What Should I Do?
Redish purple splotchy rash surrounding what appears to be a small bite or sting that is making my whole ankle swell . I was swimming in Cozumel Mexico in shallow ocean when I noticed the mark. The bite area is painful but the rash is not. I also have some blisters in the same area that are extremely painful. Could be related to sun exposure but was wearing sunscreen and was not burned elsewhere. Any ideas?
Hi, It seems that there might be having some insect bites from shallow ocean while swimming. Now allergic rash is infected giving rise to pain and blisters. Take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Levo-cetrizine for 1-2 days. If require go for one antibiotic medicines course if your doctor think it is needed. Ok and take care.
