Possible Raynaud's?: You might have something known as raynaud's phenomenon. This usually follows cold exposure and is manifested by blanching, cyanosis, and redness of the fingers. This is usually benign and self limited, but can be part of scleroderma, if there is necrosis/death of tissue, if one-sided, or if after 50 years of age. You happen to have a high esr, which is part of scleroderma, so see dr./get w/u.
