Some people try holding warm cups of coffee or using heated gloves to keep their hands and feet warm, but it could be more than just the chill in the air.
This condition is called Raynaud’s disease, and it occurs when the tiny blood vessels that supply blood to the skin constrict, limiting blood flow.
This constriction of the vessels is known as vasospasm.
Aside from looking unusual, it can also lead to discomfort, numbness, and the prickling sensation of pins and needles.
It may also be referred to as Raynaud’s phenomenon or Raynaud syndrome, but they all refer to the same condition.
