Happened last night while making dinner, felt an itch on the inside of my pinky joint, went to scratch it, not looking and it pinched, so looked down and there was a blue dot that proceeded to expand like a leaky blood vessel. Didn't get too large, about the size of a nickel, sorta hurt briefly. Didn't dwell on it to much and today (the next day) it's already fading. The doctor would be the last place I would look for an answer. Frequently, I can research to find out if I need to pursue it. The doctor is my last resort. They will surely send you for this, that and the other test (liability and all that). Frequently, They don't want to be bothered by anything they don't know about or don't have a drug to prescribe for. I do have Raynaud's Syndrome. I have fair, thin skin with spider veins here and there. Blood pressure is normotensive. White coat hypertension. Let's see, what else, osteoporosis, working on that with exercise, nutrition and supplements NO BISPHOSPHONATES ever! Otherwise, healthy today anyway. Too busy living life to dwell on this and after reading all the blogs, it affects all kinds of people, with all kinds of ailments. I did read that doctors are warned not to jump to diagnose and prescribe for this. Now my guess is, if you can deal with it and it is not happening frequently with negative outcomes you are good for another day
