What Causes Sudden Pain In The Feet Followed By A Rash?

My 2 year old nephew has had 2 siezures recently and also 2 attacks of sudden pain in the feet, with feet turning red, purple and yellow. This was followed by a rash of red blotches on the legs, esp ankles & knees. Went to pediatrician and e.r. at different times. They didn t have any ideas or suggest testing for anything. I just want suggestions for what to consider. We can research and ask for tests if we know where to start

This could be early signs of an autoimmune disease. skin colour changes, seizures, renal problems and poor weight gain are signs of autoimmune diseases. the thing that is happening to feet is Raynaud's syndrome. Ypu have to investigate to confim th diagnosis. DO a blood ESR, CRP, ANA test initially. if the child is getting anticonvulsant medications check the blood level of the medicine.
