The most likely causes are either that your shoes are too tight, or the friction between your shoes and your ankles are causing irritation.

What is venostasis?

Stasis dermatitis is a skin condition due to the buildup of fluid (swelling) under the skin. Causes The extra fluid that builds up in the body makes it hard for the blood to feed cells and get rid of waste products. The tissue becomes poorly nourished and fragile, resulting in stasis dermatitis. The disorder is common on the ankles because there is less supportive tissue in this area. Poor circulation in the veins (venous insufficiency) can cause stasis dermatitis and craters (ulcers) in the skin. Varicose veins, congestive heart failure, and other conditions can cause the arms and legs to swell, especially the feet and ankles. SymptomsDarkening of skin at the ankles or legs * Itching * Leg pains * Open sores, ulcers * Skin appears thin, tissue-like * Skin irritation of the legs * Skin lesion: macule or patch * Skin spots, red * Swelling of legs, ankles, or other areas * Thickening of skin at the ankles or legs Exams and Tests The diagnosis is primarily based on the appearance of the skin. Your doctor may order tests to examine the blood flow in your legs. Treatment The condition that is causing the problem and swelling must be controlled. Treatments may include: * Surgery to correct varicose veins * Medications to control heart failure * Diuretics to remove excess fluid Circulation in the area may improve as swelling goes down. Raising the legs above the level of the heart can help reduce the swelling. Gradually increasing gentle activity, such as walking, can improve circulation. Elastic stockings may be recommended to improve blood flow from the legs, which will reduce swelling. Treatments for the skin may include wet dressings and topical antibiotics to control infection in open ulcers. Keep the skin area clean.
