A member asked:
I sleep with socks on, and wore loose slippers this morning over them. took a bath & noticed a red dot on both feet in the same spot. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: Redness (unless it is dye off your slippers) usually means dilated arterioles from some king of irritation. Some thing, like your slipper , must have rubbed overnight causing the irritation. Match the spot on your foot with the same location on your slippers and you might find the source.
