Red splotches on foot from running, how should i treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You may not have to: They may go away after running. Could be caused by friction against shoe. If it goes away then i would not be so worried and i would check the size of the shoe and perhaps change the shoe if that was the only pair causing the issue.
