What Cause Orange Brown Spots On Foot?

My healthy 8-year old daughter has some orange-brown spots on her foot (just one foot). They are on and behind the toes and near the nail beds. Also one spot on the foot. They are not raised, itchy, etc. They look like marker, actually, but she doesn t remember using a marker near her feet.

Brief answer:
Could be insect bite.

Detailed answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM.
I have read your question in detail.
I see similar cases everyday in my clinic.
Your child has orange spot over foot which was earlier not there, this could be insect bite.
Insect bite usually occur on exposed parts of body and result in red or orange spot like appearance at the site of sting. Itching is also present but sometimes can present without Itching.
I suggest you to take 3 or 4 good pictures of the lesion and revert back to confirm the diagnosis.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
