Hi..

I understand your concern. There are a number of causes for knuckle discolouration like vitamin B deficency, acanthosis and so on and so forth. And sometimes none of these. It could have appeared just like that as your surrounding skin goes pale. Shivering of hands as you rightly said is usually a symptom in diabetics. Since you are not a known diabetic, i cannot say it is secondary to that.

However, the fact that you get these symptoms after working out, there is a possibility of impaired sugar control or anemia.


I suggest you to have a physician check up for the same. You could also try a skin lightening cream like Demelan for pigmentation

Hope i have addressed your concern.

Wish you good health.
