Tinea rash: Small, tiny red bumps around the ankles, may be a fungus called tinea pedis. If they are itchy, you need to treat them with topical antifungals or oral medications. Go see your podiatrist or dermatologist. Your hands may be affected by an id reaction. Your doctors will explain that to you.

Fungal infection: When someone has a lower extremity fungal infection there is a possibility of having a upper extremity reaction called "id". Clear the infection with an antifungal and the hands will clear.

Chilblains : Could possibly be chilblain. A chilblain is a small, red swelling on the skin which can be very itchy and gradually becomes very painful.
