Many people are terrified for the first time when they experience it, but over time they can reject it as usual.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This transformation &#8211; where your skin turns into light white, blue or dark red &#8211; will be caused by a condition known as Raynaud&#8217;s disease.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Understanding of Raynaud&#8217;s disease<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Raynaud&#8217;s disease, also called Raynaud&#8217;s phenomenon, affects how the body reacts to low temperatures. It is not just a feeling of coldness &#8211; this condition can cause intensive changes in the bloodstream, leading to noticeable changes in colors and discomfort.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Dr. Melisa Lai Becker explained to Good Morning America: &#8220;For most people, cold weather simply feels cool, but for those who have Raynaud, their fingers can become ice cold and visibly change color.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<script>\r\n  window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []};\r\n  googletag.cmd.push(function() {\r\n    googletag.defineSlot('\/22756311368\/LAP5', [[300, 250], [320, 480], [336, 280], [320, 100], [580, 400], [750, 300]], 'div-gpt-ad-1728564828386-0').addService(googletag.pubads());\r\n    googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest();\r\n    googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs();\r\n    googletag.enableServices();\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<div alaunit=\"3\" style='text-align: center;padding-bottom: 10px;'>\r\n<!-- \/22756311368\/LAP5 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1728564828386-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 100px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1728564828386-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This occurs because small blood vessels in the fingers and fingers reduce, reducing blood flow. According to NHS, Raynaud&#8217;s is relatively common and is usually not dangerous, but it can be unpleasant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Symptoms of Raynaud&#8217;s disease<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Raynaud&#8217;s episodes can be caused by low temperatures, stress, or anxiety. Normal symptoms include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Fingers or fingers on their feet embodying, blue or red.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Pain or discomfort in affected areas.Fluidity or tingling feeling, like &#8220;Pins and Needles&#8221;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In some cases, these symptoms may also occur in other parts of the body, such as ears, lips, nose or even nipples.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When to see a doctor<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Dr. Lai Becker recommends looking for medical advice if symptoms persist for a long time or cause severe pain that disrupts everyday activities. In some cases, Raynaud may be associated with other health conditions or medicines that a doctor can help diagnose.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<script>\r\n  window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []};\r\n  googletag.cmd.push(function() {\r\n    googletag.defineSlot('\/22756311368\/LAP5', [[336, 280], [320, 100], [580, 400], [750, 300], [300, 250], [320, 480]], 'div-gpt-ad-1728564868956-0').addService(googletag.pubads());\r\n    googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest();\r\n    googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs();\r\n    googletag.enableServices();\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<div alaunit=\"4\" style='text-align: center;padding-bottom: 10px;'>\r\n<!-- \/22756311368\/LAP5 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1728564868956-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 100px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1728564868956-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The condition is more common in women and often occurs during adolescence.
