This just means your hands are getting cold, and your nervus. my legs do that. its deffinitly not a blood clot, but if your hands get numb tell your parents, or maybe just to be safe i would tell them now.

Lovely.

tell your friend to shut the hell up. for starters. My arms and hands are just the same way.. you can see my veins and stuff in the winter and my thumbpads sorta turn purplish redish sometimes if I get really cold.. it's never posed a problem for me, so I'd suppose it's normal..

Uh...I doubt it's a blood clot unless there's symptoms. I know some people like that.. who are really thin and the colors change on their hands kinda like that. I mean it's completely normal, it's not bad. Don't worry. If you think it's something to be worried about though, then you should tell one of your parents.

good luck --

Don't listen to your brain dead friend. It's not a blood clot. It's perfectly normal. Nothing's wrong with you. And as for the being very skinny and eating loads, feel lucky to be naturally skinny, stock up on your food before you have to starve yourself for the body you want. By the way, don't starve yourself.

LOL, you don't have a blood clot. If they turn almost black worry about it.

It is really very normal. People are diffrent.
Show your friend this test...it will show you have blood flowing in your hands.
Kinda pinch your fingernail....it will turn white. When you let go, it turns pink again.This is called capillary refill, If all is well it turns back to pink almost quicker than you can see it. So, if you get worried just do that test.
By the way,If you have nail polish on you can't see it.:)

Me, being a thin person myself, know exactly how you feel. My hands and feet do that too, when it is cold. Especially in the winter. The only difference is that when I squeeze mine, they turn more of a very light tan/white color. So I'm not sure about that. But don't worry about them turning red and sort of purple...it's just because you don't have a lot of fat between your blood vessels and the outside layer of your skin. Hope I helped!

SarahMarie123 answered Friday April 1 2005, 9:02 pm:
yeah.. its perfectly normal.. you probably just have like a fast matablism ((cant spell)) which is why you are so skinny, and it is totally normal for your hands to turn red.. like sometimes you can see like lines that look like blood vessels.. i'm not so sure about purple.. so maybe you should like ask a parent about that.. but besides taht its normal

Yup, it's normal. My skin does that to me too. Especially when I'm in gym and I get cold! So it's the same thing and it's normal!


♥ Always,
