An area on my ankle started itching and later got swollen. It developed some boils there, then burst. Became painful, slightly red coloured puss oozing out .Then form a scalp. The area remained red and painful n then black . The scale fall off and the problem goes on n on . Also it has become imminently infectious to other areas like neck, wrist, between fingers and. More parts of the leg. As it is contagious I feel to clean up and that makes me sit up at night.
