Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sharp painful red spots on the feet . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like contact dermatitis, eczema, angiomas , seborrheic keratosis, psoriasis and boils. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper personal hygiene and apply petroleum jelly to affected area. You should take over the counter antihistamine like benadryl and apply cold compresses on affected area . If condition doesn't get improve the consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin patch test , allergy test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis . Protect affected area fron direct sunlight .Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory , immunosuppressants and corticosteroid ointment .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
