What Causes Mottled Bluish Skin In Arms And Legs After Standing For Minutes?
Hi, my 12 year old daughter has been getting mottled & bluish tinted skin in her arms & legs after standing for a few minutes. She says there is no discomfort or pain or coldness. I have never seen this happen to her before this spring. The color will slowly grow deeper especially around the lower legs & hands. She also has a very high pain thresholds, so she would not ever notice any pain unless it was very bad, I think. Is this something I should have checked out by a doctor?

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Exposure to cold climate may cause bluish mottling of the skin.
Keeping in warm surroundings and prevent exposure to cold may reduce these symptoms.
If this is not fruitful. better consult your doctor.
Hope this reply is OK for you.
