Why My Sons Knuckle Turned To Blackish Blue?
My grown son s knuckles on left hand turned a blackish blue color and almost look pooled with blood. He did not hit anything with his hand. Both arms were numb for a short time. In the morning it was gone but comes back during the day. Any suggestions?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of black spots on knuckles, my treatment advice is –
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a kojic acid cream like kojivit twice daily on it.
3. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
If the problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
