Raynaud's Phenomenon
What are the symptoms?
The key feature of Raynaud's is colour changes associated with exposure to cold or any change in temperature. These changes occur most commonly in the hands, but may also affect the feet and occasionally other extremities, such as the nose or the tips of the ears. Raynaud's hands turn white, then blue, then later red as the circulation improves. In severe Raynaud's there may be considerable pain, ulceration or gangrene.
Raynaud's can occur in children, although it is rare. The symptoms are the same as those of the adult disease.
