Redness in the toes up to the first joint only, on both feet?!


Question:

Redness in the toes up to the first joint only, on both feet?

Ok, so I am trying to research and find out the cause of this...
Maybe you can help.

I have a pt who has redness at the tips of her toes up to the first joint. It is in both feet.
Need a visual? Look at your feet, or draw a picture of them. Now, take a pen or marker, and draw a line across the knuckles of the first joint... all the way across.. both feet.
Ok, now take a red something or other... and color in the tips of your toes.
Anyone who has this, knows someone who has it, or knows what it is... or just has guesses.. please let me know.

Thanks

I could only find one thing that seemed close online - Chilblain's. But you didn't mention if they hurt or itch, and it sounds like the chilblain's do. Perhaps you can check out the site below and see if that sounds familiar.
