High bloody face

Hair cyanosis is the main sign of high altitude erythrocytosis. About 95% of patients have cyanosis of different degrees. Lips, cheeks, auricle edges, fingernail (nail) nail beds and other parts are blue-purple, and facial capillaries are dilated with purple-red stripes, forming a unique face of the disease, that is, "plateau bloody face."
