Cyanosis occurs when the skin takes on a bluish or purplish hue due to poor oxygenation of the blood. It can affect the lips, fingers, or skin in general. It can be a sign of a heart or lung problem.
Don’t ignore this sign and see your doctor. Different forms of cyanosis, whether central or peripheral, indicate problems with the lungs or heart.
If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, be sure to see a doctor.
