I've had a slightly large red rash, or maybe fungus on my right ankle for over a year now with smaller spots near it, what could it be?

Rash: It could be many things such as a fungal infection or eczema . Have it looked at if its been that long!

It could be...: Athlete's foot. The best otc medication (in my opinion) is lotrimin (clotrimazole) ultra. Dilute vinegar soaks are good as well. Dry the inside of your shoes by placing them up-side down over an air return vent at home overnight. If this doesn't make things better in a couple days, see a podiatrist.
