A member asked:

Is it normal to itch where my ankle is fractured?

Dr. Howard Fox answered

Specializes in Podiatry

Probably: Especially if you were in a cast. Itching, without any skin rash, is normal and will go away. If the skin is broken or you have a rash, go back to your doctor and show him or her.
