whats the best for removing purple red stretch marks on 15 year old white girl - i have not gained weight massively so am unsure why i have them on my thighs and bum?

Question 6

what would cause my toenails to look light purple/red?

Accepted Answer

Circulation: Underneath your toenails are bllodvvessels. Red blood cells when oxygen is removed from them turn purple and therefore you get purple discoloration in your feet. Your feet hang down and we call this acrocyanosis. It's part of the normal physiology.

Question 7

Try it: If it is not painful to sit then certainly do so.  You may just simply have a scar from the injury.

Question 8

i stubbed my pinky toe on the wall. it turn purple & red and swelled up. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Don't punt....: I did the same thing on a house post. I ended up breaking it. There is not much you can do for a broken little toe other than ice, rest and wear the most comfortable shoes. It may get better in 3-5 weeks. If not, find a Podiatrist for an evaluation.

Question 10

can fruit change the color of discharge? i ate a bunch of blueberries today & i've noticed a small amnt of purple red discharge. is it from the fruit?

Accepted Answer

most likely: The foods we eat will certainly have a definitive relationship on the color of our stool.  Fruits, especially ones like blueberries can alter the color of the stool.  Let time pass and things should change to normal.  If concerned about any bleeding, have your dr.Check the stool for blood with a simple fecal occult blood test (fobt).
