- Examine respiratory system for any lung causes of blue skin
- If blue hands; examine for finger tip ulcers which may be a complication of Raynaud's phenomenon and also examine for any signs of rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, polyarteritis nodosa, Buerger's disease, polycythaemia, leukemia, polymyositis and dermatomyositis that may cause Raynaud's phenomenon

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Blue skin.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you noticed that you have blue skin? - to determine if acute or chronic.
- Is it intermittent or constant? - e.g. appears with cold exposure suggests Raynaud's phenomenon and livedo reticularis.
- Is it localized or generalized?
- If generalized, which areas of the body does it affect?
- Is the blueness limited to one limb? - may suggest an arterial or venous thrombosis.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Blue skin) may include:
- Blue tongue - may indicate central cyanosis which is due to a lack of oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood vessels and thus may indicate high altitude, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary embolism, cyanotic congenital heart disease, polycythaemia or hemoglobin abnormalities. Any cause of central cyanosis can cause peripheral cyanosis and thus blue skin.
- Significant shortness of breath? - should consider a lung or heart origin for the blue hands e.g. cyanotic congenital heart disease, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary fibrosis or pulmonary emphysema.
- Symptoms of Raynaud's phenomenon (if blue hands)? - e.g. sequential discoloration of the digits from pallor to blueness to redness upon exposure to cold. When fingers become red they are painful.
