my 6 month old baby has very red feet, almost sometimes looking purple.... when i squeeze it, the spot stays white for a long time almost as if he is retaining too much fluid!!!! I have just noticed this today so I am assuming it has not been to long like this or I surely would have noticed prior... any advise?
Hi, Thanks and welcome to Chat Doctor. When you squeeze his leg the blew circulation is hampered and leg becomes white. Whenyou release the capillaries of the skin get filled again, and the color is regained slowly. This is normal physiological phenomenon. You need not worry about it. Hope this answer serves your purpose. Please feel free to ask further queries if any. Chat Doctor. V. Subrahmanyam.
