Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have reviewed the Images
I can see scattered, red bumps on feet in these Images.
I would keep a possibility of Insect bite hypersensitivity i.e papular urticaria.
If I was the treating doctor I would suggest you to apply a topical moderately potent steroid cream e.g mometasone furoate 0.1% cream Or triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream, 2x daily for a few days.
In addaition I would suggest you to take a tablet of antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10 mg once daily in evening. This would help revieve itch.
