If it's just in the extremities, it's acrocyanosis. The implications are somewhat different from a more general cyanosis.

Cyanosis. This shows up in the fingers or toes when a person has unsaturated (with oxygen) hemoglobin.

Cyanosis. It means you're (or whoever) is not getting enough oxygen. See your doctor immediately or if you're having difficulty breathing go to the ER.

A person with blueish tinged extremeties is said to be "cyanotic" but make sure their oxygen is actually low, some people are just different.
