What's wrong with my hands / arms? (Pics included)

Helloooo.

I have a very complex medical history, I posted yesterday about my other bits and bobs going on.

I didnt mention this though as it's unrelated to my other diagnoses (peritoneal cancer, malrotated bowel)

Taking those things aside, I also have 2 heart conditions. LQTS and SVT. I'm quite symptomatic so I'm guessing the colour of my hands and arms are maybe down to circulation. I mentioned raynauds to the doctor but he didn't think it was this raynauds doesn't tend to look like what I have, and my hands aren't cold.

It literally looks like I've been wearing cheap jewellery it's that horrible green colour. They don't hurt, it's under the skin as when I press it, it sort of disperses and then reappears.
They come and go, but always in the same place but the last couple of days they've started going down my wrists towards my arms.

Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this?

I luckily don't have any huge amounts of health anxiety, but due to my rare cancer diagnosis etc I'm a bit of a medical mystery at times and like to know what is what etc.

Oh wow.
I've no idea but I hope that your GP has taken bloods .

Hope you get to the bottom of this.

So you've already been to see GP about this? I'm assuming he didn't just dismiss Raynauds then offer no other possibilities, tests, concerns?

Then go back to your surgery and ask to see a different GP.

Poor circulation?

There are meant to be nurses and doctors on here so hope one responds.

This is taken just now.

It is in the exact shape of a ring. They occasionally go round the whole finger but mostly just on the top.

Strange!
