Why do my legs turn pale on waking?

Legs pale on waking but colour restored after 5 minutes

1 Answer

Answered on 23rd Dec '24

Getting pale legs when you wake up is a sign of circulation in your legs. This change happens during sleep which can cause the blood vessel (temporarily) to narrow or decrease in the blood flow for a limited time. This is mainly the result of sleeping positions or a fall in blood pressure. When the body is moved, the blood flow to the veins gradually improves, and the color of the limb gets back to normal. Basically, this is not something that you need to worry about. Nevertheless, if you notice other signs such as a hurting leg, swelling, or frequently changing color it is a good idea to ask a dermatologist's advice.

I applied a sunnies face lipstick accidentally ( without examining the lipstick before because i had used it yesterday and it looked fine ) today there was some yellow thin patch on the top part of the lipstick , I wiped it off with water , applied face was ( ponds ) on my lips and then brushed my teeth. Is it okay? should I be concerned? I am not feeling uncomfortable. what should i do with the lipstick? I applied it on my hand ( path was removed after i applied on my lips ) and the texture was fine , with no rash. should I wait and see if the mold regrows? Also i store my lipsticks in dry cool place and i have never mixed it with any other lipstick i just bought it a month ago and used only a few times.

You used a lipstick that may have had some mold on it. Makeup products mold due to age or contamination sometimes. The yellow spot you noticed could be mold. You do not feel any discomfort, so you are probably fine. Always remember to wash the lipstick before using it again. You should also check for any changes on your lips and see a doctor if you notice something unusual.

Psoriasis? I think there's a very high chance I have psoriasis.

Female | 18

Psoriasis affects any part of the body and can be itchy, and painful. A dermatologist who specializes in the treatment of skin diseases should be consulted. Psoriasis can be managed well and the occurrence of flare-ups will also stabilize when diagnosed early, treated, or controlled.

pigmentation problem on my face

Female | 31

This is usually when you have dark or light patches on your skin. Some common factors are sunburn, hormonal changes, and genetics. Improving pigmentation can be achieved by sunscreen, limiting sun exposure, and using skincare products with ingredients like vitamin C or retinol to even out your skin tone.

I have a problem with my thumb finger, I doubt it is blood blister, once pinched, blood is coming continuously

Male | 49

Your thumb may be inflicted with a blood blister. Blood blisters occur when the blood vessels under the skin are traumatized. They can be painful, and the more you compress them, the more blood will come out. For it to heal, don't scrape it off and try to save it from getting injured more. If it is causing much discomfort, cover it up with a bandage.

I am 18 years old. I have problem bad smell from my skin,everytime even I bath. I have problem of dandruff.I use many things to remove my dandruff. But it still in my hair. I have problem of cavity in my teeth. I have long time back pain. I have problem in my stomach digestion. I have appendix.while defection ,I have problem.

Male | 18

It seems you have several health issues. All these might be connected with different things. The reason for the bad smell on the skin may be due to sweat or bacteria. Dry skin or a fungus can cause dandruff. Cavity comes from eating sugary food. Back pain could come from bad posture; stomach trouble could be caused by what you eat or stress. Also having an appendix problem may make it hurt when you use the toilet.

This may be  fungal infection. Need to be examined by a Dermatologist. Avoid tight underwear. Wash underwear daily. Keep the area dry.

My toe nails are changing to a yellow color..also I have skin peeling between my toes and it hurts very much.. can you prescribe me anything for it..I'm guessing it's athletes feet and toe nails fungus

Female | 40

Your symptoms sound like athlete’s foot and toenail fungus. An athlete’s foot can cause your nails to turn yellow, make the skin on your feet peel off, and make your toes hurt. The fungus that leads to athlete’s foot loves warm, damp areas – like sweaty feet. You can use over-the-counter antifungal creams on your skin and nails to treat it. Also, try to keep your feet clean and dry so they are less appealing to the fungus.
