Numbness In Toes And Toe Nails To Go Purple. Worry?
Hi I went to a trance party a while ago and ever since, my two big toes have been numb. They've been numb for over a month now. my toenails are starting to go purple. I know of two people who have the same problem so I'm starting to think it might of been something we all took. Is this something I need to worry about or see someone about?
Well looking into you problem i feel that you need to see a physician immediately . See the various substances that are abused in such parties may lead to vasoconstriction leading to ischaemia and purple toes .Plus it needs to be ruled out if you have a tendency for any autoimmune disorder. A COLOUR DOPPLER of your legs is required , only after that further decisions can be taken.
If you have any further queries feel free to ask. Wish you good health. Take care. Dr. Shruti
