Improperly exposed ankles may cause some diseases, such as frostbite, ankle arthritis, upper respiratory tract infections and so on.

2. Ankle arthritis: Due to the thin skin around the ankle joint, it is poor in cold protection. Prolonged exposure of the ankle affects the local blood circulation in the joint, causing aseptic inflammation at the ankle joint and promoting the accumulation of inflammatory substances, resulting in joint swelling and pain and other phenomena.
3. Respiratory tract infection: the ankle part of the skin is weak, soft tissue less, after the ankle will not only make the cold invasion of the whole body, but also due to the cold reflex caused by the body of the upper respiratory tract mucous membrane of the capillary contraction, resulting in a decline in the body’s resistance, which is susceptible to latent bacterial infections and the occurrence of respiratory tract infections.
Therefore, life should pay attention to the ankle warmth, to avoid showing ankle.
