Question 1

Lesion on ankle: This lesion would likely need to be examined and more history obtained to be able to provide you with useful input about the diagnosis or possible treatment. A scraping may be needed to confirm diagnosis.

Question 2

i have a fungus infection on my thigh and my husband has athletes foot. can it be related?

Accepted Answer

Possibly yes: I would see a dermatologist or your pcp to confirm that the rash on the thigh is a fungal infeciton. They usually perform a KOH prep to confirm it if it is not clinically obvious. If that is the case, there is a possibility that it can be transmitted from a fungal infection from your spouse.
