Itchy red dots on my feet, not raised. Rash or allergic?

Female, 29. Yesterday, started to feel a little itchy on the surface of my right foot. I was out to visit my friends due to a funeral, and they did not seem to have any health symptoms. On that night itself I found myself scratching my right foot a bit while we talked. So I think I got it before meeting them and I was at home for weeks due to the pandemic.
I went back home and slept, but I remembered the sole of my foot was so itchy I had to scratch while I sleep. I woke up and found that my left foot started to itch that afternoon. So now both feet are itchy. Could it be I’m allergic to something? I’m not sure, I don’t think I had anything new other than a new flavour of potato chips.
The rash is mostly flat, means no bumps, maybe just a tiny little bump here and there. Reddish, tiny dots. Very itchy. Is this contagious? Am I sick? Covid-19?
