Possibly neuralgia.: The area you are describing is pretty much the same area that the sural nerve is located. The symptoms can include pain, burning, numbness on the outside of the ankle and foot as well as numbness of the calf. The cause can vary. Included is ankle sprain or pressure to the outer leg or knee. Massaging the area helps sometimes but if the symptoms increase it should be evaluated by a specialist.
