Red spots on bottom of foot?

DS had a fever starting Thursday 5/15. Went to dr, he had a red throat (no strep), ears fine, figured it was a mystery virus. Fever broke that Sunday night but we went back in Monday bc he was still not himself and dr said ear infection so he's on meds for that. Around that time I had noticed what looked like a mosquito bite in a couple places on his one foot. Well now, almost a week later, they're still there and more pronounced. They're raised slightly but he doesn't seem bothered by them even when I touch them. They just look bad! I'm wondering if the fever may have been the beginning of HFM -- and if so can kids get the spots only on their feet? (One foot??) He's had 2 drs look in his mouth recently and I'm assuming they would have told me if they noticed spots! I don't see them anywhere else. And if it's not HFM any idea what it could be? I'm not rushing to call the dr on this since if it IS HFM there isn't really anything to do for him. Unless it starts bothering him or looks much worse we will just wait it out.

    DD#2 has HFM and her feet look like your lo's. Her hands are also aa tiny bit red, but only I noticed because it's so minor.

    When my DD had HFM she didn't have any red spots at all. I only figured out she had it because I got a horrible case of it right after she had been irritable/feverish for about a week. Once I knew how I felt having it, it was easier to determine that's what she had. I think she just had the blisters in her mouth. But like you said, if it IS HFM you just have to wait it out anyway. Good luck!

    That looks like HFM to me. Check the inside of his mouth too!
