See doctor: This could have been from the fungus (tinea) spreading or a so-called id reaction if you have athlete's foot.  Since you have already tried hydrocortisone, it is time for you to consult a dermatologist.

Accepted Answer

Get diagnosed: It could be from "being on your feet". But there are a number of things that can cause swelling in the ankle. This is a very nonspecific symptom.

You can find one in your area at www.Aofas.Org.

Question 10

i had twins identical 8 months ago swelling went down alot in ankles but been having swollen ankles again past few months but not severe swelloing it goes off as soon i elevate feet what is the cause ?

Accepted Answer

Ankle edema: Swelling in the ankles that gets better with elevation is called edema.  It is body water that has leaked out from the blood vessels and comes from having too much pressure on the vessels, blocked vessels, or too much fluid in the body. It can be caused by wearing tight elastic around your leg or calf.  If you are, stop.  It is not rare after pregnancy, but if it is getting worse, see a doctor.
