What Causes Purple Discoloration And Swelling On The Hands?
About five years ago, I started to have purple/blueish hands. They swell in the morning. The blood pulls to my hands causing the swelling. I have mild purple/purple color to my lower extremities but now have my nurse turning blue/purple. Which is very embarrassing. I have been worked up to the fullest, seen multiple different specialist and no one can find anything. All my labs come back perfect and/or negative. Pictures were taken and sent to NY and they simply called it acrocynosis. they stay this color all year round. I am a nurse in healthcare and it is embarrassing when my patient comment it on or I can see them looking at my hands or nose. I just want an answer to what it is and hopefully a medical treatment.
Though your condition is not rare but it is not so common and the diagnosis is pretty accurate alas they cannot offer a treatment for the condition. I offer you a Ayurvedic way-out that can help a lot Meanwhile you need to improve your circulation rate and take healthy diet.
The treatment in Ayurveda shall be long and hectic. I shall elobrate k my after proper evaluation and your Interest.
Hope you respond Thanks
