Hello: I keep getting red blotches just above my ankle bones. They are not there all the time. I also find that my legs overall get very tired all the time, even if I exercise on a regular basis. I also think that my ankles are somewhat swollen.
A lot of things could cause red blotches around the ankles. Common possiblities include: poorly fitting shoes; a skin or fungal infection, such as ringworm; and poor circulation.
