months before i got my lupus dx, my gp dx'd me with raynaud's in my hands and feet. and up til now, that's been it and i've just come to terms with my nails being forever purple and no nailpolish. but tonight, after a very hot shower, i looked in the mirror and my lips have started to turn purple. only on the bottom lip towards the corners, but it's really strange. is this raynaud's too? all advice welcome. thanks.
Hello Lynn,
Yes sorry to tell you it's raynauds also and sometimes your lips can look a slight purple...once someone thought i was wearing lippy but sometimes it can be related to other problems such as the heart etc, i'd still get it checked out with a doctor to make 100% sure.
This link says alot more about the lips and conditions of discoloration.

Mine now over the years have lost colour and all around the edges of the line of my lips are deep red outlines like jaggered and cracked...it does so much to we but if your lips ever feel dry vaseline helps alot also.

Do you have primary or secondary? Maybe there's something else going on as well?
Im not sure. She just saw my purple toes and said “I hmm…thats weird. Looks like raynaud’s. Nothing to really worry about” and sent me on my way.
Hi Lynn,
It maybe just the raynauds, as like i stated mine have gone purple in the past it's according to how cold the body gets but like me and sharon have also mentioned other issues can cause this also.
Love Terri :)
