I don't even know how to explain this, but I'll try.

I've noticed when I get out of the shower my toes look all blotchy and weird...Kinda speckled.

Today I took the kids to the park and when we sat down I noticed my toes looked really weird again.

They were whitish in spots and then had red spots/blotches. Didn't look normal at all.

I think it may be a circulation issue, but I'm not sure. The tops of my feet also burn. My feet just don't look healthy.

Does anyone else get this or know what may be causing this?

I used to have such "pretty" feet, but now I'm embarassed of them.

Any ideas?

I use to get strange red blotches around my

toes. Yes, not so pretty and very noticable. My

LLMD said it was die off of babs! That made me

happy. It totally disapeared and not returned.

Now I just need a pedicure [Smile]

Wow! I haven't been tested for Co infections yet, but will. How could they die off if I'm no in treatment? Maybe the heat?

Weird!

I have the same blotchy thing, and notice it after the hot shower, and in the sun.

Especially summer when I wear open toed shoes. and in the area where my sandel touches the foot. It doesn't happen in regular shoes for me.

I alwys thought it was lupus, as I have that as well. But I do not have Babs, and my co-infections and lyme are in remission. Just wondering if it is circulation?

I have bright red blotches on top of my toes.

On both big toes and the 2 other toes next to the big toes. I have had it for 2 weeks.

It is making me nervous. Test were done and show no co-infections a year ago.

Anyone else have this??

My toes and legs turn purple and blotchy especially after showering. I am off antibiotics currently and just doing yeast meds. I don't know if its from a certain infection but I think its from poor circulations.

I used to get this as a combination of Babs, Dysautonomia, and poor circulation. The Lyme agrivates the dysautonomia (who knows may have caused it). The burning feet didn't last very long though after starting Babs treatment.

Hang in there! Don't know why your Md didn't check for coinfections, almost everyone I know has at least one. Get it checked please. [Smile]

i got this when my lyme first started acting up. usually after a warm bath.

my feet would turn all kind of purple and red blotches.

even at work i would look down and have blotchy feet.

mine is circulation and lyme i'm sure.

But my 3 toes on both feet have been red 24/7 for a solid 2 1/2 weeks. No pain, no itch, no swelling. Just real red??? [shake]

Up - there's a similar thread from another poster. Hope they see this one, too.
