Hi,
As per your query, you have symptoms of red dots in ankle and feet which is mainly due to viral infection, an allergic reaction and could be heat rashes.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses to this area and apply petroleum jelly. You should protect them from sun exposure and take antihistamine like benadryl. If condition does not get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with corticosteroid ointment and antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
