Guess the skin condition! *pics*

So I've had these reddish blotches for ages, and it was only when a friend said the other day "What IS that on your ankle?" that I really thought about them. They don't itch or hurt or anything, but they don't look great either. I tried putting thrush cream on (why not?) but that hasn't done anything.
Any one like to armchair diagnose me?

Looks a bit like my psoriasis looks at the start of a flare up.
I'd go to your GP. Don't leave it, I didn't bother and massively regret it.
That said. I'm not a HCP and it could be something completely different.

Both ankles. Are they scaley or rough?

Can you feel it on your fingertips?

It looks like bruising.

I would pop into your local pharmacy. I have always found them very helpful for minor ailments and far easier than trying to get an appointment with a doctor.

You are morphing into a she-leopard.

Had it for months so not a bruise. Doesn't feel scaly at all. Pharmacy is probably a good shout.

I would say psoriasis

I was going to say it looks my psoriasis after an outbreak has mostly cleared up.
