What Causes Purple Discoloration On The Earlobes?

I m 72 and about a year ago my earlobes started turning purple, especially when I m up doing things a lot. They re not as pronounced early in the morning when I m first up from bed. I m in good health and do not have any heart or lung conditions that I m aware of. I don t smoke and I m not a heavy drinker. Some lite beer.
