Hi, good people. Lately, I have been experiencing some unpleasant problem. My fingers get numb and turn white, especially if I expose them to the cold. I really don’t know what this is. If someone has any idea, I will really appreciate to hear it. Your help is more than welcomed.
Hello. This is not something unusual. You are experiencing so called Raynaud phenomenon. It is a vasospastic disorder. The blood vessels in your fingers constrict when exposed to severe coldness. It usually affects smokers. Emotional stress can also cause this. The exact cause is not known. If this lasts too long, it can lead to tissue damaging due to hypoxia. You should consult a doctor for treatment options.
