What Causes Itchy Red Patch On The Ankle?

Six year old has a red patch about the size of a half daughter on front of his ankle with two or three oddly shaped lumps. Initially, I thought it was irritation due to dry skin. It has not become larger, but it it no better two weeks later, and I have no idea how long it has been there. It does itch him.
