A doctor has provided 1 answer

Raynaud syndrome: This is likely a Raynaud phenomenon.This is a process where the small blood vessels spasm and redirect blood flow away from fingers and sometimes feet. t can be triggered naturally by cold, but is a symptom of other medical disorders.Your doc can help sort this out.
