toddler with very cold hands and feet

Dd often has very cold hands & feet. She's 17months old and is otherwise well at the moment apart from teething. Even though she's had socks on her feet are icy and sort of blotchy/a bit blue. when I press on them & make a white patch where I've pressed the colour takes a while to come back if that makes sense.
It's not just today, I've noticed it a lot. Does she just have poor circulation? Is it something to warrant a GP visit?

I think that warrants a GP appointment, yes.

Are her lips ever blue?

No, I don't think so.

I don't know, maybe it's nothing - she just had a nice warm bath and now they feel better, quite pink though the colour still takes a second or 2 to return when I press, it's not instant.

Did you get an answer from your GP?
This sounds like my Raynaud's disease.
(Sounds worse than it is!) it's basically slow circulation. I self manage mine, so gloves, socks, keep out of the freezer! Smile
