Is Having Very Hot Feet And Rashes Connected To Having Small Hole In Heart Valve?
My son gets very hot feet and rashes on them. The rashes I assume are a form of heat rash. What could be the cause of his feet overheating even when he is just sitting. He has a small whole in a heart valve which the doctors expect will close by itself. He is age 14.

Hi..a hole in the heart which has not closed by 14 years of age needs evaluation and closure - either by a device closure or a surgery. The heat and the rashes are not related to the hole in the heart. These rashes could be an innocuous viral exanthema.
I suggest you get your son evaluated by a cardiologist for the hole in the heart.
