Suggest Treatment For Itchy Sore On Ankle Oozing Liquid

I have what I believe is a bug bite on my ankle that will not go away. I happened during the past summer. It itches all around the actual sore w/ clear fluid leaking when rubbed. Sometimes my the area around it will get puffy. It scabs over, but always crumbles off and continues leaking and itching like crazy. I ve tried itching creams, peroxide and bandages, but it just won t go away or completely heal. What can I do?

Hi
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
These symptoms can be because of dermatitis of the skin of the ankle and requires treatment by the antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.


Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for further treatment.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Please do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
