Rash on my ankle which is incresing
Around October end 2022 I got red pigmentation on my right ankle of size 1cm×.5 cm . By the end of November it increased in size ( first pic). By January 2023 it has increased in diameter , although the central area has cleared(pic2). Is it something minor like contact dermatitis because I started wearing a black thread from last year? Or I should visit a dermatologist?
