    hi all, my son is 16 months old, and i have noticed recently that in the mornings his hands and up his wrist are a funny purple redish colour and they feel freezing, yet the house is not cold,, it just looks unusual for a child. its like he has bad circulation or something,.
    anyone else experience this?? and is it anything to be concerned about.
    prob not, but worth asking.
    thanks

    I'd bring him to the GP if I were you.. just to be safe, sounds like a circulation problem though..

    Could be Raynauds disease.

    Thanks for replies,, thinking it could be circulation thing alright.
    I just read up on raynauds disease an it doesnt sound nice, hopefully its not that extreme.....
