What Causes Itchy Rashes On The Ankle?
I have 2 half moon shaped rashes almost making a circle on my inner ankle. I applied Lamisil mixed with Cortizone and after a week it was gone. After a week of being cleared it appeared again and bigger in shape and itchier. I tried applying Lamisil and Cortizone again but it doesn t seem to work anymore. It s been four weeks and it seems to get redder and itchier. What could it be?

Hello,
It could be an allergic eruption.
As a first line management antihistamines like cetirizine can be tried.
If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
