Yes...I have had this colouring in my feet (and hands to a lesser extent) since 2008...this colouring plus what I called over heating & under heating in feet (and hands) led to Systemic Lupus diagnosis in 2011...then we learned I actually had infant onset lupus, which has gone untreated all my life. Yes, dodgy health has meant quite a lot of regular contact with drs for what we now know has mostly been health probs secondary to and/or aggravated by untreated lupus.

Even since my lupus treatment began in 2011 (hydroxy, prednisolone, & now mycophenolate) this feet (& hands) colouring & over/under heating & pain has continued, but hydroxy has damped it down a little. I'm told I have raynauds simultaneous with erythromelalgia. But my feet also are classed as having complex regional pain syndrome due to the complicated set of named conditions diagnosed as affecting them, ll of which are now under treatment.

So, in 2008 I began to investigate my version of this feet colouring & pain sensations....and, over the years, I've had drs react in all sorts of ways to it: this is normal, this is not normal etc etc. so, I know there are alternative reasons for this sort of thing. I hope you figure your version out asap
