Brief Answer:
Do you have any pains? Can you upload an image for review?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

From the information you have provided, there is no alarm sign that should get us immediately concerned at this time. I will however like to review the look of your hands for the appearance and the pattern of this bluish discoloration. With no pain, no abnormal sensation and no loss of power, am not worried at this time.

To upload an image, simply click on the link to upload a file and follow the instructions. If this proves difficult, please send the image by mail to YYYY@YYYY and request that the image should be uploaded to your query.

I do promise to get back to you with more insights and helpful recommendations as soon as the requested information gets here.

Brief Answer:
Monitor only!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the image.

I have reviewed the attached image of both palms fully. This is typically caused by stagnation of venous blood. With no other symptoms, observe only at this time. Keep the hands warm and try to do hand movements to facilitate blood flow in and out of the hands.

I Wish you well.
