A member asked:
I have been really cold to the touch for a week and a half except i don't notice that i am cold until i touch someone else. what could cause that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cool skin: Skin that is cool to the touch may occur with contraction of the small blood vessels in your skin as the body tries to conserve heat. It can also be due to anxiety or an underactive thyroid or even anemia. See your physician if this persists and appropriate tests will be ordered.
