==Overview==
==[[Acrocyanosis overview|Overview]]==
'''Acrocyanosis''' refer to a persistent blue or cyanotic discoloration of the digits, most commonly occurring in the hands although also occurring in the face and feet as well.


==Classification==
==[[Acrocyanosis historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
Acrocyanosis can be placed into two categories. They are:


* [[Acrocyanosis (benign)]] - The more common condition that requires little, if any, medical intervention.
==[[Acrocyanosis classification|Classifications]]==
* [[Acrocyanosis (not benign)]] - A sign that may allude to a more serious medical problem.
