What Causes Blue Fingertips, Palm And Thighs With Itchy, Tingly Sensation?

I have noticed over the last 4 days my finger tips and the palm of my left hand had a blueish color to it. The color does not last more than a few hours. I noticed in the last 2 days the front of my thighs are doing the same thing. I am not in a cold climate. I have no pain, shortness of breath nor racing heart beats. Where it is blue in color the skin has a slightly itchy sensation and the hands feel tingly. Should I be concerned?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and I feel, these symptoms are of vascular origin and a color Doppler study of all four limbs is a must as a first step, if itching is your main complain than in that case seeing a dermatologist will be a better choice before going in for any investigation.
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks.
