What Causes Toe Redness With Spots?

One of my toes (next to the pinky toe) has recently turned a Burt orange color. The redness is only on the tip, where I do not walk. I thought it was just dirt so I hoped in the shower and didn t think about it again. Two days later (today) I looked and there are black/brown dots underneath the skin and the burnt orange color is more noticeable. I am not diabetic.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

Vascular claudication can lead to black /brown dot which is common in smokers.
Another possibility could be lumbar canal stenosis leading to burning sensation and pain in your leg.

I will advise you to do MRI spine and colour doppler leg and foot.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.

I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
