Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
This is due to diminishes in blood supply to effected parts.
When blood supply reduces , than there is decrease in supply of oxygen to parts effected.
When less supply of oxygen patient develops numbness and discoloration.
Same thing happened in your case.
Sometimes chills and extreme cold also develops this type of conditions.
Some allergen sometimes may causes this condition.
So consult a physician a get in his opinion as physical examination will reveal many things.
Hope I have answered your question.
If furhter any question I will help.
GOOD luck.
Dr. HET
