 Posted: 01/16/07 - 11:21 Post subject: my daughters toes turn purple |
  |
|
Hello, my 14 yr old daughter noticed her 2nd toe beside the big toe on each feet was the color of purple & a bit swollen, we took her to the Doc. After an xray was preformed, the Doc's reply was to wear socks...as her feet maybe cold???
My daughter is active in a sport, she still sees the purplish color on those toes & they do hurt when touched, she has had this symptom for the past week only. As far as I know none of my family members have this symptom. Not sure what to do? |

Thank you for your post & actually it comes and goes, she might not have any symptoms for at least 3 weeks then the symptoms show again. Doc said it was due to feet being cold..and maybe poor circulation but thats all he said?. So my daughter and I still dont know what to think. |

| What did you find out about the purple toes. My daughter is 10 and started about a year ago with one purple toe, now all of them turn purple and get swollen. It comes and goes. Dr. took test for rhuematoid arthritis and diabetes, both came back negative. She is active in tumbling so we thought maybe from that, but her teacher has never heard of it. Any thoughts? |

|
|
| I came in here searching for answers as to why my 8 year olds toe (now 2 toes) swell periodically and is purple. Her ped. suggested x-rays for possible arthritis but after reading posts, I'm not wasting my time. It use to be her middle toe and now it's that one plus her big toe on the other side. She does say they hurt a little when rubbed. They look aweful when they are swollen and the middle toe looks double in size. There is no cause to this happening and it goes down at times. I really hope someone knows of this. |

|
|
I am a female athlete (age 25), and I've had the same purple-toe problem for years... the pain and itching always come during the winter time and while I'm playing a sport.
My doctor told me that it was a common fungal infection that affects athletes because of dampness in shoes/socks. I change my socks frequently and slather an over the counter anti-fungal foot-cream on my feet before bed and it is usually gone within a few days.
I would try that... and think about getting another doctor:) |

Hello, my baby toe on one foot has been swollen and really red and tender for about a week now. i don't recall doing anything to hurt it, and it hurts to wear shoes because it is twice it's normal size. I saw a podiatrist who told me it was from pressure from shoes, but all weekend I've been off my feet and wearing socks only, problem not getting better. I thought maybe chillblains, but the toe is not itchy , it feels like there is fluid beneath the skin. does anyone think they know what this is? is it an infection also??? |
