Hey everyone. I am hoping someone out
there has some advice. I think I have
circulation issues in my fingers and toes.
Recently, the fingers have started. I
am so frustrated!! When both my hands
and feet get hot and sweaty, they turn red
on their own and unbelievabley itch. My
skin is not dry at all. They just go
bright red! It usually happens when I am
lying down or sitting. Please help!!!!!
Ps. My mother has had the same problem
for years but she has scratched so much
over the years the skin is beyond repair.

Reminds me of my raynaud's symptoms, or
possibly poor circulation (which is
essentially what raynauds is but there can
be other causes for poor circulation too)
or allergies might cause these symptoms.
Go see your dr &/or check on a search
engine for symptoms of poor circulation,
raynauds.
There are vitamins which can help, I
suggest you check for natural remedies or
natural relief for raynauds or for
circulation problems. I don't take
anything as i've learnt to control it, I
don't put my hands into hot water (i never
checked the kids baths!! As raynauds
usually means you can't feel how hot the
water is, in fact in severe cases people
have burnt their hands & not known
until they smelt their flesh burning) also
I don't hold cold things for long or allow
my hands & feet to get cold as this
has a negative affect on them in terms of
redness & itch etc.

The vitamin is "gingko bilboa" take a high
dose & then adjust to suit yourself,
also vitamins that assist liver &
kidney function as these organs cleanse
the blood & so that would help aid
improved circulation.
Treatment wise - keep your hands &
feet warm (not hot or cold) keep them out
of/away from very hot things/water &
out of/away from very cold water/things.
