Does black lung lead to blue skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: One cause of blue skin is not having enough oxygen in the blood so instead of being bright red the blood has a darker color. Since black lung keeps the lungs from getting enough oxygen into the blood it can lead to skin in the extremities looking blue.
