Unknown feet skin rashes

[Kev_]

Hello,

I have some kind of rashes or discolorations on my feet on the sides for quite some time(more than 3 years), I have gone to dermatologist, he told me to avoid wearing colored socks, which I did for a month or so, with no effect.
I think they are getting bigger with time or periodically.
They don't itch or ache, or feel hard/different on touch. Maybe slightly dry, but that may be just the skin on that location.
I include photos to show you what they look like. They are on both feet, but on my left foot they are more intense and occupy larger area.

As you can see, they are scattered around the foot but also concentrated on some areas.

If the pictures don't help identify the cause/condition, I would be grateful to have some suggestions to tell to the doctor.

Thank you for the reply.
I am planning to see a doctor, but maybe I have to contact an angiology doctor, if it has to do with tiny veins braking, thus leaving the spots?
I would have to add that my father has a similar condition with spots, but they are in a more advanced stage, and have moved up to the leg.

Hello,
From the symptoms it can be due to contact dermatitis, allergies or exposure to the sun. Cryosurgery using liquid nitrogen and laser are the main treatment modalities.Although there are many skin creams like hydroquinone and salicylic acid,but their use needs prescription .I would recommend a dermatologist’s consultation for this.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
