What Causes Patch Of Crusty Skin On Ankle?
Hi. My daughter has a round patch of crusty skin on her right ankle which is raised. To me it looks fungal but I don t think the presentation is ring-worm like (although I m no expert). There is no visible red ring round the edges. It doesn t hurt her. Could it be a wart, or a fungal infection?....

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that it is fungal based on your description.
This can be treated with a topical antifungal agent.
It can take 2 to 3 weeks of treatment, sometimes, for a fungal rash to resolve.
Topical antifungals would be available over the counter at your local pharmacy.
I hope this helps
