Raynaud syndrome - what does this mean

Raynaud syndrome is a disorder affecting the blood vessels that supply the skin with blood, causing them to narrow in response to cold temperatures or stress. this narrowing can cause the fingers or toes to turn white or blue, and can cause pain, numbness, and tingling. in some cases, the skin may become hard and waxy.

What happens during the disease - raynaud syndrome

Raynaud syndrome is a condition in which the small arteries that supply blood to the skin narrow, limiting blood flow to affected areas. this is usually caused by an exaggerated vasoconstrictor response to cold temperatures or emotional stress, which causes the arteries to spasm and become narrowed. this can lead to decreased blood flow, resulting in coldness, numbness, and discoloration of the skin in the affected areas.
