There are many reason why a finger turns purple. The main reasons are due to Anoxia - a condition where there is lack of oxygen to body tissues, coagulopathy - a disorder of the normal blood clotting, fractures, hand injury, hypothermia - abnormal low body temperature, melanoma - a dangerous skin cancer, and in general cases purple discoloration is due to jamming of the fingers or skin infection.
