Why does my skin look like a slice of corned beef?

[TheFinger2]

I am permanantly freezing cold and my flesh has that kind of red and blue mottled look.Anyone got any ideas why and how to get rid of this unflattering look?

do you use inhalers or are you on any tablets to help breathing

mottled bluey,purple can be a sign of cardiac or kidney problems...go and get a check up.

I used to get 'corned beef' legs when it was really cold, I thought it was due to poor circulation....I may still suffer with it but don't wear anything that reveals naked flesh these days

it can also be a sign of other problems like auto immune problems. Do you feel well in yourself or do you have any medical history. have added a picture...does it look like thiswww.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=106681

Thanks for the replies, I do feel well and I'm not on any medication, though I am really cold, even with the heating on full blast, It may well be poor circulation, is there anything to improve this, I am relatively fit and active.

alypaly Thanks for the pic, but i am more white with blotchy skin looking

if you think it is poor circulation there are drugs like nifedipine that can help. Do tyou have cold hands too,or do you suffer from reynauds(white finger)
