Brief Answer:
A number of causes

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but this could be due to a number of causes...

This is why I would recommend that you get a duplex ultrasound to check on arterial and venous supply to your extremities and to exclude varicosities and Raynaud’s disease...

I would also recommend that you get a blood test for clotting profile, including clotting time and prothrombin level to exclude their abnormalities.

I hope you find this helpful...Let me know if I can assist you further...
