Fingernails Turning Blue: Causes, Treatment, and More

When to Visit a Doctor

During the winter, it is common for fingernails to turn blue due to low temperatures. This problem tends to resolve once you have warmed up. However, if the color keeps appearing, you should inform your doctor immediately. It may indicate the presence of an underlying condition that would require medical attention. Healthcare providers will find out the reason and suggest proper treatments to ensure blood can flow properly to the affected parts. [11]
