What Causes Severe Itchiness In The Ankle?
My itchy ankles just woke up from a much needed nap. I rubbed them vigorously with lotion until the itching subsided. Now the ankles, especially the inside of the ankle are very red. Gradually, over the years, a dark, discoloration has been developing. Is this something to worry about?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
It may be due to allergy from a product in your footwear. I will suggest to avoid vigorous rubbing and visit a dermatologist for proper treatment.
Hope i have answered your question. If you have any furtherquestions i will be happy to help.
