dusky, often deeply cyanotic discoloration of the skin often worse in winter months

nearly always occurs over areas with a thick layer of subcutaneous fat (which insulates the subcutaneous vessels and makes them more susceptible to the effects of cold)
weight reduction is often the only treatment necessary
