Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
I have seen the attached pic also. Thanks for the same.

If you are having similar kind of rash on your feet , wrist and thighs, the most likely possibility is leucocytoclastic vasculitis.
I will like to know the following details:
1) Do you have any history of associated infection like sore throat, fever, abdominal pain,burning micturition etc?
2) Any history of recent drug intake or change in medication?
3) Are the lesions blanchable on pressure or non blanchable?

I will also advise you following investigations:
1)     Complete blood count
2)     Blood sugar
3)     ESR
4)     ANA/ RA
5)     Urine : routine and microscopy
Kindly get back to me with reply of above questions and reports so that I can advise you to my best.
Stay healthy
