When i wash my hands and water is cold i get a burning pain in 1 finger.no cuts,splinters or injury.i asked about this and answers pointed to raynauds but my skin doesnt change color.could this still be raynauds or could it be something else?

Which finger ? If the small finger or ring finger -it can be due to the ulnar nerve . If the middle or index it could be due to median nerve . Rarely thoracic outlet syndrome may cause this. Not all skin changes occur in Raynaud's.
