Bug bites: At this time of year they could be bug bites or you may be developing a fungal infection.

Foot rash: Assuming the rash is confined to the foot and ankle area, it is not likely a drug reaction. If this rash is new and itches, it is likely "athlete's foot" which is a fungal infection of the skin that has a predilection for dark, moist, and warm areas. Try over-the-counter athlete's foot cream for 1-2 weeks to see if the rash resolves. If not, or if it gets worse, see your podiatrist.

It could be...: Athlete's foot. The best otc medication (in my opinion) is lotrimin (clotrimazole) ultra. 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.
