General Medical Question - Non Urgent - turning purple?

[PassedExpectations]

yeah, basically, I turn purple, particularly my arms and legs, but its gone onto my stomach before. When it happens I can usually see my veins waay, way past where I can normally see them (like past my elbow, at least). I can't figure out why/when it happens or what triggers it, seems to be random, and it happens once a weekish, maybe a bit more... I've got very, very pale skin btw.

so, is this normal, and if its not, what should I do?

Thanks in advance

Im the same! does it mainly happen when youre really cold?? I go bright orange and blue and purple when im cold! Its mainly to do with bad circulation and if youre very thin then the blood has to try harder to warm you up! Its nothing to worry about anyway! Unless it starts to hurt then i suggest going to the doctor!

sounds like something to do with your ciculatory system

i have bad blood circulation which often makes me get blue and purples, mostly at the end of the body part

Is it more when you are cold? Have you got a restrictive ED? If your BMI is low (don't put the number up here) or you have low body fat you can see your veins further up your arm than most as there is less fat covering them and it is that layer that shelters them from view. Do you feel normal when this happens or does it come with other symptoms?
