Morning Trevor, When you press on the skin, you force the blood out of the capillaries and the skin turns white. This is called blanching, blanched skin, skin blanches, or simply skin turns white.
When skin is blanched, it takes on a whitish appearance as blood flow to the region is prevented. If circulation is normal, the capillary blood comes back instantly and skin color returns. But if the blood return is sluggish, the skin stays white for several seconds and can indicate poor blood circulation. Blanching of the skin is usually a localized reaction and may be a sign that the skin tissue is not receiving its usual blood supply - poor circulation - due to swelling, cold, or other problems, such as insufficient blood flow through the vessels.

I’d get on to the doctor Trevor 💙
