I have a chronic itchy rash in my left ankle. Have tried many topical creams . The itch can be very intense. I have more recently been havin swelling and pain around the same ankle. Dermatologist has stated it may be lichen planus. The rash now is appearing further up my leg. Biopsies same area yrs ago with same dermatologist and lupus was ruled out. Last topical med has been betamethasone.
