However, a toddler with a rash after a high fever breaks may very well have ROSEOLA, or exanthem subitem, which is identified by this appearance after high fever.  It is common and goes away by itself.  Your child should be getting better and behaving normally.  Best wishes!

Based on D history: You've given, heat rash is the primary consideration. It could be from skin sensitivity to the sun or from blood vessels opening up with increased blood flow after sun exposure.

Athletes foot: You may have athletes foot extending from your toes to the top of your feet  and ankles. Check with a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis.

Question 8

Razor bumps: It sounds like razor bumps.  If you are using a razor on either of those areas...that’s the likely cause. If not, some sort of ectopic dermatitis is a possibility.  See a dermatologist.

Question 9

top of foot swollen, slight redness, painful to walk. 3 says now. no trauma,  just appeared.

Infection?: This sounds like an infection -- maybe cellulitis (infection in the skin) or perhaps deeper, i.e. inside the foot. Or possibly a form of arthritis. Any of these can be serious if not quickly diagnosed and treated, so see a doctor ASAP. Good luck.

Question 10

1 cm, perfectly circular bruise on top of foot. very small pinpoint at center. no swelling, redness, raising, etc. what was i bit by? cause for worry?

Varies: There are a number of  possibilities, among the more common and sometimes concerning can be a spider bite, particularly a brown recluse spider.  You should seek attention if the area becomes dark appearing or shows any sign of infection such as redness or swelling; or if the size of the area is increasing.
