10 Raynaud's Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Blue Skin
Raynaud’s syndrome is known for causing several different color changes in the skin. The skin could turn either blue or white as one of the first responses to cold temperature. This color change occurs because of the blood coming away from the skin.
Typically one finger will be affected first and then the other fingers will follow but the thumb often is not involved. Color changes will usually last about 20 minutes until the blood returns to the fingers. Again, the easiest way to manage this is to take precautions to avoid becoming cold. Wear gloves and an extra pair of socks to keep your extremities warm.
