I have a red lump thats dry on my left ankle. It s located more to the front of it in the middle. Definitely looks different than my other ankle. There s no pain or itchiness with it. It s just a weird lump that s been around for a few months that seems to have gotten an little bigger and more dryer in look even though I m always applying lotion to it.
Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor virtual Clinic. I studied your query in all the details put forth by you. I understood your health concerns. Cause of the health problems you queried-The lump in the middle of ankle seems to be a Ganglion Cyst, mostly,which is growing lately. This is due to benign tumor-the synovial Histiocytoma, which grows from the small joints/or tendon sheaths. Mostly they are associated with arthritis history, or TB infection/ or with plantar Arch defects of the foot. Lotions would not help it. I would advise you to consult ER Surgeon / or ER OrthoSurgeon, who would differentiate from other possible causes for the lump in that area. As I don't have any direct photo of the lump / or not many details from you, I would advise you to consult surgeon. Hope this would resolve your query with full satisfaction. Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME by direct question at Chat Doctor. Write excellent review and hit thanks, to narrate your experience, which would improve my rating for many other visitors to Chat Doctor. Wishing you fast recovery. Have a good day. Chat Doctor. N.
