Question : Why do I have bright red toes in morning

Answered by Dr. Shafi Ullah Khan (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Arthralgia likely. needs examination and correlation

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Bright red toes in the morning at age of 74 are likely due to some joint problem of arthritis ( age related articular degeneration) that can cause this redness and toe brightness. Apart from it, mere skin condition like eczema, dermatitis , some vascular issue like raynaud's can cause this too. Insect bites can also present this way .

Let your doctor have a look at it and correlate it with complete physical examination and detailed history. I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
