Red Spots on my foot

[pnbbednarik]

I have noticed that I have these little red spots on the arch of my foot. I first noticed these spots when they were happening around my toes. Now they are no longer on my toes, but on the arch of my left foot. It is not on the other foot at all. I have tried to search the web and I can not find anything on this. They are not raised, they do not itch, or flake. Someone suggested that it is eczema. I am not sure. I put vaseline on my foot overnight and it seemed not to help at all. Any suggestions would definitely help. Please see the attached picture of what they look like.
Thank you!

Did you ever find out what it is? I have the same thing.

Hello,
These little red spots on arch of foot can be due to dermatitis skin, allergic contact dermatitis to the shoes or socks, granuloma annulare or stasis dermatitis. Stasis dermatitis affects the lower limbs mostly. It is mostly from vascular problems in the lower limbs. To confirm the diagnosis please get an examination done by a dermatologist.

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.
