Today I had the urge to scratch my ankles and right after a bug bite sized lump appeared on both my ankles its slightly red, and no bite mark, and is warm I guess and doesnt hurt when touched, its also tender. Its also still itchy, what is this it sounds worse than I could think of?
Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor with you medical concerns. You are concerned about a lump with itching on your ankle after scratching the itch. This type of reaction is an allergic reaction to an insect bite. What every bite you is causing your body to react locally to the bite. In my practice I have my patient use a topical steroid like HY Chat Doctor.  This reaction may take for several days to 2 weeks to fully resolve. Hope this answered your question. Please contact Chat Doctor again with your medical concerns and questions
