A member asked:

Red crusty rash from outside ankle bone to baby toe hurts but no swelling what could this be?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Skin condition: Possibly could be a form of athlete's foot. You could try a topical anti-fungal such as lotrimin (clotrimazole). If no relief, i would recommend evaluation by either a podiatrist or dermatologist.
