What Causes Blue Discoloration In The Armpits?

Around my armpits are a tad blue ish and I m not sure why I just got out of the shower and noticed it. I was wearing a blue bra today so I m not sure if that has something to do with it but I ve also owned this bra for over a year and I ve never turned blue before (as far as I know). Do you think that could be the cause. I have been working out or anything I was outside doing yard work and was sweating but that was about it. Nothing out of the ordinary

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It would likely be related to the bra or any other blue clothing .

Poor circulation can cause blue like discoloration of the skin but this occurs at the peripheries (the tips of the fingers, lips, toes).

I hope this helps
