A member asked:

Cold feet and toes that turn purple.do i have bad circulation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Now, you need to determine if it is large or small vessel disease. See a vascular doctor. You may have raynaud's which is a vasospasm of the blood vessels causing this problem.

Is chapped skin on the feet and toes a sign of poor circulation? What should be done to treat such an issue? My pinky toe was so badly dried/chapped at the first joint that it started bleeding. Im trying treating it with Vaseline. Thank you.
