Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM team.

Understanding your concern.

As you mention in your query that you got red spots on foot after pedicure .Usually people get infection after pedicure because large number of clients lead to lack of personal hygiene in salons .Due to this bacterial and fungal infections are very common after pedicure .

The most probable cause of red spot in your case is fungal infection .

I would suggest you to consult dermatologist ,who can order skin test like KOH test to rule out bacterial infection .Doctor may prescribe you topical anti fungal cream containing ketoconazole or oral anti fungal medication like terbinafine .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
