How should feet and toes whiteness be treated?
Patient: My baby girl is 3 1/2 months old and for the past while I have noticed that her feet and toes turn white sometimes. It looks as if they completely lose blood flow, they turn as white as can be, completely colourless. What could this be? I asked my doctor and he was unsure of what it could be and just asked me to bring in a photo of her feet. Doctor: Hypothermia causes whiteness of peripheries due vasoconstriction causing poor blood supply to that area. This can be prevented ant treated by preventing and treating hypothermia.Use mittens and gloves to cover hands and feets.Also breast feeding may prevent hypothermia
