I can bring a little more blood flow to your ass, instead.
Chat how true is this
Alright Lemmy graduates of Hollywood Upstairs Medical College: why are my toes hairy but my feet are always cold?
I just mentioned it elsewhere in this thread, you might have Reynaud’s phenomenon. It’s a disorder that causes the capillaries in your fingers and toes (and elsewhere) to spasm and constrict when you are cold or stressed restricting blood flow. I suggest you talk to your doctor as it can be associated with other conditions.
Increased bloodflow can actually drop the temperature of the limb. For instance, alcohol might make you feel warm, but due to the vasodilation you’re actually losing heat.
Same. My toes and feet are so hairy but if it’s below 65 F my feet literally turn blue.
For real though I think it’s my iron deficiency. I had an ultrasound done on my legs because I was convinced I had a blood clot, and the technician was like, “you have excellent veins!” 😅
Probably Reynaud’s Phenomenon. I’m been diagnosed with this. My fingers and toes are often very cold and change colors (blue, purple, or even white). I’d suggest you talk to your doctor as there are medications that can help with this and it could be connected to an undiagnosed autoimmune disorder or connective tissue disorder.
I’ve thought about Reynauds, but my skin never turns white, just blue. I also get tingling sometimes in my heels, but never in my toes or fingers (which also turn blue). The people I’ve met with Reynauds also talk about it being painful and I’ve never had pain.
I have reynauds and for a long time it just skipped white. Also it’s rarely painful for me, which led to me just leaving my arms blood deficient too long
Are you particularly hard to draw blood from? And is it sometimes slower than normal, especially when it’s cold?
Ass health also requires good blood flow. Hang in there champ!
Picturing the cat avatar saying it
I’m basically a werewolf, so I guess I must have great circulation.
Which is weird because my hands and feet are always cold to the touch.
I could pretty much braid the hair on my toes if I wanted to. I guess that means I’m healthy?
Hank Green says it’s to prevent chafing! Probably.
Healthy hobbitses!
Oh dear.
I use to have really hairy toes. I just checked and they are bald. Damn.
TIL, you’re dead!
I have naturally hairless toes and it has made several doctors check to see if I have diabetes.
Oh I know why they are bald. I just never noticed they were till I saw the post.
But definitely not diabetes. Just tons of other health issues I’m reluctant to post about with all the ai programs scraping the open internet.
I have no blood flow over most of my body then. I’m nearly hairless except on my head and my junk… I’m going to die.
/not Asian
Yes, you are going to die.
Same. Virtually no body hair at all except junk. My facial hair grows really slowly, and I have toe hair. I don’t even really have underarm hair to speak of. Also have gone bald.
I wonder if I am some sort of very tall elf/hobbit hybrid…
Wow! Blankets must feel so much smoother and colder to the touch haha.
I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum - short and very hirsute!
Here’s the irony, I said head. I have a huge beard, but very little body hair. Now the beard didnt come in til my mid 30’s
You’re body is doing the opposite of mine, got body hair by 8, a stache by 12, and a full and proper lumberjack beard by 21 I am slowly turning into Cousin Itt at 26. Don’t mix Scottish and German blood unless you want to accidentally creat Homo-Neanderthalensis.
I have noticed the beard has increased a bit in the last 5 years or so. I’m 35 now, and can actually have facial hair, I just have a longer than average awkward period. In my twenties, I had huge patches of missing hair. Including an almost exactly circular, US quarter sized missing spot on my chin. That was weird. Lol
You say “not Asian” like being Asian makes you less hairy. We Indians are Asian too and sadly being an Indian woman means lots of hair removal.
I have hairy toes with poor blood flow, so I’m a little skeptical.
I have renauds syndrome where my hands and feet are usually dead blocks of ice like a corpse that the donor party couldn’t eat because it got too cold.
My feet are so hairy that I often wonder what utopia of a world I would live in if Lord of the Rings never existed.
I’m with you on being skeptical of the claim that hairy toes are a sign of good circulation.
Same, this is definitely not a rule. My extremities feel much colder than the rest of me most of the time. My toes are hairy because of genetics; I’m Middle Eastern.
How do y’all prefer to shave your shitlocks?
Hair removal cream is the way
nair.
Asking the real questions!
I believe this an outdated piece of medical advice based on cardiovascular health and arterial disease
