What could cause tiny black specs to appear on my fingertips? i have lupus and recent increase in swelling and tingly fingertips on one side.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vasculitis: Small black spots on you finger tips could represent necrotic areas due to tissue damage to small blood vessels; either from inflammation of the blood vessels or from emboli (small blood clots originating in an other area of the body). This symptom requires immediate attention from a physician.
