Hand Discoloration

Hand discoloration can have many causes. It can be the result of an injury, exposure to certain chemicals, or an underlying medical condition. Treatment for hand discoloration depends on the cause.

Injuries

Hand injuries are a common cause of hand discoloration. When the skin is injured, blood vessels can break and leak blood into the tissue. This can cause the area to appear bruised or reddish.

Exposure to certain chemicals

Certain chemicals can also cause hand discoloration. For example, if you come into contact with a harmful substance like arsenic, it can cause your skin to turn blue or green. Treatment for chemical-induced hand discoloration typically involves rinsing the affected area with water and avoiding further exposure to the substance.

Underlying medical conditions

Several underlying medical conditions can cause hand discoloration. For example, Raynaud’s disease is a condition that causes the blood vessels in the hands to constrict in response to cold temperatures or stress. This can cause the hands to turn white or blue. Treatment for Raynaud’s disease typically involves avoiding triggers, such as cold temperatures, and using medications to improve blood flow.

Other medical conditions that cause hand discoloration include liver disease, kidney disease, and anemia. Treatment for these conditions typically involves treating the underlying condition.

What are vascular conditions leading to hand discoloration?

Vascular conditions leading to hand discoloration include:

  • Arteriovenous malformation
  • Reynaud's disease
  • Thrombophlebitis
  • peripheral artery disease
  • venous disease including DVY, obstruction
