You could have Ridley Syndrom. It can be anywhere from a very serious condition to a mild one. Ridley Syndrom is a blood circulation problem. I have it and if I get too cold the blood drains from my left ring finger and it turns EXTEREMLY white. The doctor said its fine as long as I don't let it get that cold too often or else it could have to be amputated. You just have to be careful. Another possibility is that you're actually physically cold. Obviously, this can happen in cold rooms, but less obviously, it can happen when you're very low on energy -- so low your body is haivng troubles maintaining the right core temperature. Shivering is a sign of this (where the body needs to increase core temp so badly it'll try to do it by muscular output). Drinking warm liquids helps as this point, as does an infusion of calories. Warmed lemonade with a dash of salt can fix the whole problem (the salt is to replace any missing electrolytes).

What causes your left hand to turn purple?

Lack of circulation causes your hands to turn purple. Often times, cigarette smokers' hands turn purple in the cold. I know this, because I am a cigarette smoker and my circulation is horrible due to the nerve endings being damaged from the chemicals in the cigarettes. Also, I take adderal in quite the abundance (approximately 400 mg in a day) and I always notice the day after that both of my arms will turn purple and my hands will also be purple and clammy. That's because the amphetamines pinch off your nerve endings reducing the circulation. There are many factors that can account for purple body parts, you just need to keep an eye on what you are putting into your body and make sure you're taking the amounts you're supposed to. Because, let's be completely honest, purple hands are beyond unattractive.
