Question: Two of my toes are reddddd and they hurt...frostbite?
It was freeeezing and i noticed that my toes were red
and then they started hurting - like crazy.
They are bright red--- and look like theyre swollen..
Is this frostbite...is it possibe?
I was wearing socks and boots...
Answers:
Not frostbite but if they were seriously cold, it could well be chilblains - which are red and itch like mad. They usually clear up themselves but there are creams on the market available at the chemist that can help alleviate the symptoms.
i agree with the 1st person about the color . frostbite is normal black and im not 100% sure but i think it goes numb . just try to heat your feet and toes slowly warm water or a heating pad on low and rub them to help increase your circulation , they will be itchy and swollen as they warm up . get some lotion on them as well
Most likely cause is you either smoke or drink too much and the toes will fall off in a couple of weeks time.
Not terminal you can still laugh:-) Most likely cause is actually chilblains
if you're using yahoo answers for the solution, and not the ER, it's prob not frostbite...besides frostbite turns your toes black and blue, not red.
It could be gout.
