A member asked:

The tips of my fingers on my right hand are turning white.. like white white and theyre frozen. is this bad circulation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Poor circulation will cause discoloration of fingertips. The question what is the cause of the poor circulation. You may have raynaud syndrome. You should be evaluated by a specialist for this. Look for a vascular surgeon.
