Any idea what this could be?

Baby not sleeping well so I've brought him downstairs and he's currently asleep on a cushion on the floor, I've just noticed the bottom of his foot doesn't look normal colour. Any idea what it could be?

What colour is it? How old is he? What’s the temperature in your house?

I've added an image but it says it's currently under review.

Looks blotchy on the soles of his feet, bit purpley with white dots is the best way I can describe it. Kind of like bad circulation or something was my first thought.

He's 9 months and house isn't cold although turned the heating off a couple of hours ago.

I guessed it might be blotchy - yes, sounds like mine get when bad circulation if it’s cold or they are unwell. How’s his temperature and any other symptoms?

Image is there now. Not what I was picturing. That almost looks like nettle rash. Just on one foot?

No idea but bumping for you

Have you checked the rest of his skin? It almost looks like hives and if he has them elsewhere I'd be concerned about an allergic reaction. Is he breathing normally? Normal temperature etc?

Any doubt, get him checked over tonight
