Purple feet

I was reading past posts about people's feet turning purple.  I went for my acupuncture appointment this week and she noticed that my toes are changing color.  I'm not having pain in my feet and the numbness from my last flare is definitely getting better.  She had me start doing some foot massage to help it, but they're still blotchy and purple.  Any suggestions?

I had another acupuncture appointment this morning and she felt my feet are looking better.  If the vein issue continues over the weekend, I'll definitely call my regular doctor!  Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it!

I'm one of the purple feet club, though i've had it fully checked, still there is no abnormality (apart from my brain) to actually explain it, dooo do doooo do, doooo do do dooooo lol Mine just run through the multiple shades of purple, no veins pop out, swelling etc um just the purple colour wheel.

I'd be getting it checked out and not assuming anything on this odd one. If you veins are swelling, it 'could' indicate there is a vascular causation eg varicos veins, clott etc

I think they're just changing color, although the veins are kind of popping out tonight.  No swelling though.

Is it a circulation issue?  Are they swelling, or just changing color?
