Do : Do you usually bruise easily, or are you taking any medication that can predispose you to bruising, like Aspirin or coumadin (warfarin)? I ask this because, from your description, it sounds like you may have broken a little blood vessel. Raynaud's will usually cause blanching and whitish appearing skin, not so much blue, and in those rare cases where blue discoloration is association with lack of blood supply, the blue tends to be at the end of the toes, not the middle of the top of the foot. If it doesn't clear up in another day or so, i'd show it to your doctor. Feel better.
