It comes from a hemoglobin deformation that is congenital. A medical compound can bring temporary relief, usually around 12-24 hours by causing the deformed hemoglobin to release some of the CO2 it carries and encouraging proper oxygenation, turning the blood from purple to red, restoring skin from a blue shade to a pink one.

She was turning grey though, not blue. In fact, she looked so strange, as if someone just sucked all the color out of her, she had to wear a lot of makeup just so she doesn't appear as walking dead to people on the street.
