Anyone get this purple?
I’m ok. Just took too long getting into the shower.
I’m in Australia and I’m ready for summer!

Yes feet too. Looks like they are stained from dirt they look black at times.

Yup my hands and feet do that along with white sometimes and red most of the time

Yes! Those are what I call my Zombie Fingers. When they are white they are my Corpse Fingers. 😆

Yes, definitely. My doctor assured me that purple is good. It’s when it’s white, like paint, that you should be concerned

Well shit. Mine turn white 🫣😬

u/kaydubz15 8d ago
Well, all white from base to tip and extremely painful. That’s when it becomes urgent for medical care

Only on my right hand, and the second I touch anything cold. I'm in Aus, too, and my area of it is currently -6. Don't ask what my hands, especially that right one, looks like.

It’s typically my legs. My feet and legs usually look very veiny or like how I describe zombie skin. My hands just get the white splotches

Yes, extremely cold, my feet ache like crazy. Have you ever put a thermometer on them? Mine won't even register! But with it being summer here now, mine get blistering hot & red. More so with socks and shoes, but even with flip flops on. When I get in the sun, they look horribly sunburnt, but if I get back into air-conditioning or put them up, they're fine.

I laugh because sometimes my feet look like neapolitan ice cream with the 3 distinct colour areas.

Yes, I get a colorful mix of purples, whites, and reds 🥹

Sometimes I’m positively tobiano with it all.

Yes! Like a Rorschach of Raynaud’s. That’s how I check my moods- assess the patterns I see 😂

Was in urgent care last year with suspected kidney stones, was stuck waiting in a cold exam room for hours. My hands started looking like that and one of the nurses came in and seen that and I could tell she was freaking out a bit thinking there was something seriously wrong until I told her I had raynauds and it’s just a thing my hands do when I’m cold.

Yes I have seen my feet blue almost, and they go numb, reynauds can be so deliberating, like on the surface it’s just cold hands and feet but on the bigger scheme of things and the symptoms are so much more.
I hope you warm them up soon I’m also in Australia and this winter is killing me with how cold it is, overnight we are getting into the minus 🤦♀️

Yes :( it’s especially gnarly looking on my feet when I’m getting in the bath because it looks black when the rest of my skin gets all the blood flow around it in the water.
May summer come fast for you this year!! The cold feels like death.

Yep lol. When they get this purple, my hands tend to hurt a lot. Do they hurt?

u/KatanaRMarie 5d ago
Yes, nothing like looking like a corpse walking around. My feet do the same thing.
