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.
