Cyanosis is the bluish-purple discoloration of the skin due to reduced oxygen concentration in the blood. This bluish hue does not reflect on the whole skin but rather regions where the skin is thin. The appearance of cyanosis can vary in different people. In dark-skinned people, cyanosis can be noticed in lips, gums, eyes, and nails. It can be difficult to detect cyanosis in obese people. Cyanosis is often present with other symptoms, which can signify an underlying disease.
