Raynaud's: Raynaud's phenomenon is excessively reduced blood flow in response to cold or emotional stress, which may even cause discoloration of the fingers, toes, and occasionally other areas. The phenomenon is believed to be the result of vasospasms that decrease blood supply to the respective regions. Usually benign. If severe, you can simply wear gloves in cold weather. Best wishes.
