What Do Dusky Discoloration In Toes And Paleness At The Bottom Of Feet Suggest?

My feet from the balls of the bottom of my feet to my toes are often (increasingly so) cold, numb, and uncomfortable. At time the balls of my feet feel like they are burning and cold at the same time. Rarely, I have seen my toes with a dusky discoloration and the bottom of my feet are sometime pale. What do you think?

Hello,

Your symptoms are suggestive of a decreased blood flow. This can occur in a number of conditions like diabetes, peripheral vascular disease , smoking etc.
It may also occur as part of Raynaud's syndrome or Raynaud's disease.
I shall be able to help you with suggestions if you let me know the medical conditions and your profile.
Take Care
