Venous stasis: You may be developing venous stasis dermatitis caused by chronic swelling in your ankles. It is caused by weight gain and high blood pressure causing the legs to swell. Best to wear compression stockings and elevate the feet and decrease salt in your diet. See primary doctor for blood pressure and weight management. It can be reversed so don't be discouraged.

See a podiatrist: Need to see a podiatrist for exam. It could be psoriasis or just a fungus.
