Red Spots on Foot: While the most common cause of small red bumps on the bottom of your foot is a fungal infection known as tinea pedis, or athlete's foot. Several other diseases may present similarly. These include contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis--which is associated with asthma--bacterial infections, and psoriasis.

Dermatitis: Any rash on your body needs evaluation if it does not resolve after a few days. Red spots on the bottom of the foot (plantar surface) could be simple athlete's foot. Treatment with over the counter athlete's foot cream should help within a week or two. If not, you should consult your podiatrist or dermatologist for evaluation and treatment if necessary.
