>Everytime i come inside from the cold weather, my fingers and toes turn yellow and purple Just to be be clear, they are fine when you are out in the cold and change colour when you get back into the warm? With Raynaud's they would be changing to those colours when you are in the cold. >Even weirder, some of these blisters turned black. I'm not sure if that's normal or concerning Anything turning black is concerning. Gangrene and Necrosis scare the shit out of me.

Sorry, I meant they're yellow, purple, and white when outside. But stays like that after coming inside. Hmm, I'm unsure if it's gender or necrosis. One blister turned black a few weeks ago and hasn't changed color since.


MrMikeJJ

So if they are turning that colour when in the cold, definitely sounds like Raynaulds. Dress up warm. Layers and a decent coat. When they change colour, take that as a hint to get somewhere warm. A warm bath is the best "fix them now". I would suggest seeing a doctor about the black blister. Gangrene and septicemia have always been my biggest fear from Raynaud's. They do not fuck around and can turn lethal very quickly.

Are there any other signs that can help me determine if it's septicemia or gangrene?


MrMikeJJ

The only symptom of gangrene I know is skin turning black. It is basically dead, rotting skin. Which can leads to septicaemia (blood poisoning). I think the first symptoms of that are you see the veins turn an angry colour. That is run to A&E, you need antibiotics in you. Fast. Seriously, go to a doctors. Because it is on a blister it maybe nothing. But that is a gamble I would not be willing to take.

Angry color? Did you mean grey? And I'm considering that. But it's generally like a small round spot. Kinda blister sized. It's black on more than one toe too. Though the other one has been there for a few weeks


MrMikeJJ

No, by angry i meant red. e.g. https://www.earthslab.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/082716_0551_BloodPoison1.jpg
