What Causes Palm And Feet Turning Bluish,numbness And Tingling Sensation?

I am 43 years old and my father has a history of peripheral artery disease and blood clots as well as arthritis. I noticed about 6 months ago after plucking my eyebrows for approximately 20 minutes prior to taking a shower, my feet and the palms of my hands are a very dark purple blue color. It takes about 20 minutes after my shower to go away. During this time, I don t experience any pain, more of a numbness and tingling sensation. This does not happen when I am cold or in any other situation. Should I be concerned and see a Dr.? I take 20 mg of Brintellix and 1 mg of Ativan per day. No other medications.
