6. Cyanosis

This is the first sign that comes when a patient has poor circulation to any part of their body. Together with the coldness of extremities and numbness, cyanosis is one of the first signs that show poor circulation. The body usually turns a pinkish color on the skin as a result of the blood flowing close to the surface. So, any shortage of this blood will lead to the skin turning blue. In dark people of color, it might be hard to notice the blue part of the skin. But it would be recognizable if you press part of the patient's skin and see the visible color changes there.
