Wart In Ankle Bone, Redness, Painful, Lumps. Is It Infected?

I have what I think is a wart right near my ankle bone. been there about a year. it turned red and now it hurts. it has a red patch around it about the size of a dime now. just happened in last couple days. I can feel lumps in the redness area. Wonder if it is infected or if its even a wart. It has kind of scabbed over now.

Hello dear...

Presence of redness & pain in the lump near ankle bone indicate presence of infection.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of analgesic & anti inflammatory agents like Ibuprofen or Paracetamol along with Serratiopeptidase.
If there is formation of pus, then it has to be drained under anti-biotic cover.

So, kindly visit your Doctor, get a proper clinical examination done & discuss regarding the management plan.

Wishing a good health.
Take care.
