Hello there.... Thanks for the clear pic. Know Thrissur well and don't see it to have a chilly climate... Perchance are you stationed elsewhere or taken a holiday to some cold ❄️🥶 area in the last 2-3 weeks prior to the onset of this rash? Could it be possible some medicine was taken prior to the onset of this issue? Are you a smoker 🚬 by any chance? All these will point to a condition called Perniosis (Chilblains) or some form of vasculitis or contact dermatitis. For a more detailed discussion, diagnosis and management plan do Consult Online or use this App's INSTANT ONLINE Consultation 🙏
Next Steps
Gentle rewarming of the feet if indeed 'cold' was the precipitating factor. Use of warm cotton socks Moisturizer applied liberally.
Health Tips
Avoid OTC products and home remedies Stop 🛑 smoking 🚭 (if this is a habit) Keep 👣 dry antihistamines to allay the itch.

Hello! With your history and the clinical picture, it looks like Perniosis, also known as Chillblains. It’s quite common during winters and is treatable.
