What Causes Rash On Feet And Ankles?

My daughter started to develop a rash on her feet and ankles on 6/24/15. She had worn new espadrille shoes for the first time with a raffia type sole on them on 6/22. The rash didn t start to appear until 6/24. The rash did not have the shape of the shoe on her foot when it started and it was 2 days after the new shoes. I am not thinking it is really from the shoes. She went to a Minute Clinic in CVS who gave her a prednisone pack on 6/25, but she was going out with friends and having a drink, so she did not start the pack. Now the rash is spreading up her legs and feet are swelling. We are going to the ER now. Do you have an idea of what this might be?

Hi,

It might be due to contact dermatitis. You can try low potency steroid creams like Betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, It is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
