Accepted Answer

Secondary Syphilis: This rash could be syphilis-as it characteristically affects the palms and soles of the feet. Of course this is a sexually transmitted disease-so I would want to know your exposure history. You need to show this to a doctor, preferably an Infectious Diseases specialist who would know for sure what it was and how to best treat you. It is completely treatable but you need a proper dx. It's not HFMD!

Question 9

hi, i noticed three tiny red bumps and red spots under my foot yesterday. they don't hurt or itch in any way. what can be causing them? thanks.

Accepted Answer

To start with...: It may be athlete's foot. The best otc medication (in my opinion) is lotrimin (clotrimazole) ultra. Socks should be a synthetic material like those manufactured by thorlo [http://www.Thorlo.Com/]. Dilute vinegar soaks are good as well.  Dry the inside of your shoes by placing them up-side down over an air return vent at home overnight. If this doesn't make things better in a couple days, see a podiatrist.
