What Causes Red And Itchy Rash On Ankle?
This weekend I noticed a red rash on my ankle extending about 6 or so inches up. I first thought it was poison ivy, but since I never got it I ruled it out. It itches terribly. I put Neosporin on it and that helps a little. It also felt better after my shower this morning. Any idea of what it could be and what I need to apply to it? Thank you. John

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a a contact dermatitis. I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also suggest using a steroid cream for local application such as Betametasone cream.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
