10 Symptoms of a Blood Clot
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Skin Discoloration
While a blood clot may cause the deepening of the color of the affected part of the body, it can also cause discoloration. This means that when discoloration occurs on a part of your skin, it may be a blood clot symptom within the nearby region. The discoloration usually affects the area beyond the location of the clot. This happens because of reduction in the amount of blood reaching it. For instance, a blood clot that occurs around the wrist can cause discoloration in the hand or palm.
Besides the discoloration, the affected part may feel colder than the rest of this part of the body. If the clot remains untreated for some time, the color may begin changing to bluish.
