I noticed a small red rash on my ankle almost 8 weeks ago and since then, it has grown significant and developed in to a large ring around my ankle/leg/foot.
I have seen two Pharmacists, my GP and Dermatologist - none of which know what it is and don't believe it is fungal or eczema related.
It is not a painful rash but sometimes is itchy, strings or I get pins and needles (the latter could be a coincidence).
I'm not sure whether or not I need to be worried but the rash is still growing and I just want the reassurance that it isn't anything to be concerned about.
Has anybody got any advice or thoughts with regards to what it could be?
Thanks!

Para mim, isso parece um pouco com micose, para ser sincero, confira este link do site abaixo

I had a rash and swelling on the outside of my ankle 2 years ago and I saw a Consultant in Dermatology who diagnosed the cause as poor blood flow in the lower leg. The solution was to wear a compression sock during the day (flight sock or similar) and to apply a cream (Fucibet or Cetraben) to the affected area. Within a couple of weeks the swelling reduced. It took longer for the damaged skin to heal although it is still slightly discoloured. I stopped wearing the compression sock after about 6 months
