What Causes Hands To Turn Blue?

Hello, I'm 15 years old and my hands keep turning blue even at moments when I'm not cold. I feel fine and so do my hands but they keep turning blue. I tried running them under hot water, not wearing bracelets, and nonstop movement and yet it continues. It's been like this for the pass four days and tomorrow will be the fifth; what's wrong with my hands?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Appears to be Raynaud's phenomenon.
2. It can also occur due to stress, and that would be the reason for it turning blue at other times.
3. Also need to get hemoglobin level checked. Doppler blood flow and antibodies screen maybe necessary.
4. Vasodilators will be helpful. Meet your doctor for diagnosis and prescription.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
