Here is a picture of the epiphyseal plates of the distal tibia and fibula in an ankle: You can easily see the dark line above both ankles or malleoli.

I've done this before and not seen or felt any adverse reaction. --E.H., Dover, Del. A. Probably nothing, in the case of most over-the-counter products. The expiration date on creams is really the date at which point the manufacturer is willing to guarantee that their product is at least 90 percent potent. After the date, all bets are off. The stuff either works or it doesn't, but there is no assurance. Now as I tell you this, please realize I am referring to basic, general creams that you can buy over the counter, such as hydrocortisone, triple antibiotic ointment, arthritic and muscle ache rubs, anti-itch creams and anti-fungal products. If you're only a few months past the date and the product looks normal, try it.
