Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does Purple Discoloration On The Toes Indicate?
I was walking this morning and when I took my shoe and sock off my toe (about 2 inches in length from mid toe to my foot) was purplish red. I didn t hurt myself and the area doesn t hurt. It s really weird. Should I be concerned? I look up on Web md. and it could be a hematoma(?).
It might be due to minor contusion. Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself without any definite treatment. As of now apply ice packs for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
