What Causes Bumps On Foot And Ankles?

I believe I had a viral infection due to constant bowl movements and not able to keep food on my stomach. I only vomited once which seemed to be the end of the process. The constant bowel movement has stopped but I am now breaking out. Multiple started on my foot and eventually spread to my ankles. Now they are showing up in other places but not like on my foot. This has been occurring for a month now. I have changed laundry detergents (rewashed everything), body washes, lotions, and shampoos. With all that being said how long can an viral infection last. I went to the doctor after I vomited but they would not give me anything.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might be suffering from plantar warts.
These are viral infection caused by HPV virus.
Treatment is by local application of keratolytics like salicylic acid.
If you dont get relief with these, radiofrequency ablator can be used to destroy the virus affected skin.
Maintain personal hygiene, wash your feet twice daily with soap and water.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
