What is the difference between cyanosis and acrocyanosis?
Cyanosis found only on the hands, the feet and the area around the lips is known as acrocyanosis and is a normal finding in babies. Cyanosis on the lips, tongue, head or torso is central cyanosis, and should be promptly evaluated by a doctor.
