Hello, Thank you for your query. Would you clarify a few things for me, please? *how old are you? *do you smoke or consume alcohol? *do you have any other medical illness or take any medications? *any family history of connective tissue disease or cardiovascular problems? If so, who and what? *do you have difficulty keeping your slippers on? *any other symptoms like low grade fever, joint pains, rashes? *any similar symptoms on your hands? *is the redness increasing? Any pain over the area along with numbness Based on your symptoms, I would like to rule out vascular compromise & connective tissue disease. I recommend : -a physician consult -blood tests (complete blood count, glucose panel, lipid profile, clotting profile, kidney & liver function tests). -doppler study of both lower limbs.. Based on these we can arrive at provisional diagnosis. Further testing may be required but it is vital to rule out the above. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Wish you good health
