Rash or birthmark - newborn preemie?

Asked for Male, 39 years

My twins were born week 34+0 - healthy. We spent 2 weeks in the NICU for monitoring. No they're 1 month old. One of them now has a what looks like a rash on his right foot. This rash started to develop 1 week after he was born. The whole stay at the NICU he had a blood pressure cuff around his right foot, exactly where the rash appears to be now. He definitely did not have anything on his foot during his first week, as seen clearly in many quality pictures we have. I'm not sure what it is.

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. The picture isn't as clear however this seems more than a simple rash. I would recommend icing it and consulting a child specialist at the earliest or preferably a dermatologist.
