A member asked:
Have taken cocaine again and now hands are a dark purple colour thats now spreading up my arms what can this be ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cocaine intake: Cocaine can act as powerful vascular constricting agent. It can cause both acute (short term) and chronic ( long term) damage to the vascular system. I would recommend trying to see a vascular doctor and a primary care doctor either through HealthTap OR in person if not done already. More history is required to make judgment as to what step should be take next. Quit cocaine, it will be helpful.Thx
