Answer 1

Your symptoms sound like something my mother suffers from. It is called Raynauds Syndrome. Her fingers turn numb and black. . .they look like they are dead almost. She says it is very unbarable.
I have attached a site that gives more info. Go see your doctor so you can get treated. Don't leave this untreated.

Answer 2

Have you been exposed to extreme cold for a long period of time? What you are describing sounds a lot like gangrene resulting from frostbite. Is there also a foul odor?

If not exposed to cold, a clot in one of your blood vessels may also produce similar symptoms.

Anytime an extremity turns black (as with gangrene) it means there's no blood circulation to the tissue. When there's no blood circulation it means the tissues don't get any nutrients and can die and people can lose their fingers or whatever limb was effected.

If I were you I'd see a doctor immediately!

Answer 3

Some cheap(i mean like not $100 rings)can react with your skin and turn them colors. I have a ring from Claire's that was about $7 and it made my finger change too but a mood ring I paid $2 didn't do anything. It's just the way some are made. I don't think you can prevent it but good luck maybe there is a way.
