What Causes Blue Discoloration On The Fingers?

DISCOLORED FINGERS WITH BROKEN WRIST hello. I broke my wrist ice skating on 11/5 (Colles fracture, left hand). On 11/7, a doctor put it in a splint and bandaged it with an elastic bandage. The mobility of my fingers is fine but they are blue gray. They don t feel colder than the fingers on my other hand. The color is sometimes darker than other times. At times, my knuckles also look swollen. Is this normal bruising?

Hi,

The possible causes are vasculitis and Reunauds disease. Consult a physician and get evaluated. Detailed evaluation including arterial Doppler and ANA profile are required to make a diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
