Skin On Feet Darkening?

7 Replies

Just noticed a funny thing, the skin on my feet has/is turned/turning dark grey to black.No pain or tingling or anything.

It’s from the toes up to and nearly above the ankle bone. No idea when it began, only noticed after a slipper fell off a foot.

Funny old world. I’ll see if there’s any change Tuesday morning, if not I’ll give the Surgery a ring..... see what they say or don’t say🙄

Right, off to kip.

I think call a GP or 111 straight away? Please, I may be wrong to suggest but it doesn't sound right at all.

Best to get it checked. Mine are normal just a bit cold and sometimes a bit numb.

call your gp or just go to the hospital, it is not a good sign

I would get your feet checked out ASAP! I'm no doctor, but it could be circulation problem! Merry Christmas & Happy New year to you and all!!

I think February is right. Have it checked. And can you manage chair exercises? There are some on YouTube if your doctor approves.

My Neuro Surgeon prescribed my medication. After a couple of years I had bright red spots on my instep just below the toe line with bruising around my right ankle. I reduced the frequency of taking the medicine and the bruising has gone , the red spots are fading. My head seems to be more swimmy and walking less positive ( this could be due to the time of year) as I am less active. I will resume taking the medecine as prescribed in the new year. I know I have made progress and have hopes of beating Ataxia totally, as all I need is time!
