A member asked:
Can raynaud's phenomenon ever be truly dangerous, to the point of losing fingers or toes?
11 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: In severe cases of raynaud's gangrene may develop in the finger tips and toes. This is often related to concomitant nicotine abuse and is seen in patients with severe scleroderma. It should be emphasized this is not a common occurrence.
