On the bottom of my foot on both feet right by the arch on the outer side is red and hurts to touch or walk. Is that gout or what could that possibly be? Also on my arm pits I have what looks to be like 3 cists and once again identical could that be related to what is happening on my foot? Im taking meds for bronchitous (sp?) and I was also in a hot tub that had a little bit of an algy build up and this is also when these things started to happen could that have an affect as well? Tia
