 Raynaud's usually affects the fingers and toes, but the ears, nose, lips or nipples may also be affected. People with this disorder are intolerant of cold. Exposure to cold or even strong emotions causes a brief interruption of the flow of blood to extremities such as the hands or feet due to spasmodic contractions of blood vessels. Affected areas will feel cold, numb, tingly or throb painfully for minutes, sometimes hours until the episode passes. In severe episodes, the pain may extend up the hand into the lower arm. Raynaud's usually affects the fingers and toes, but the ears, nose, lips or nipples may also be affected.

-When an attack occurs, if you look closely, you may see the skin [[http://www.humanillnesses.com/original/images/hdc_0001_0003_0_img0216.jpg|turn white]] when the blood flow is interrupted. Then the skin may [[http://www.sclero.org/medical/symptoms/photos/raynauds/judith-t/1-palms-up-468.jpg|turn blue]] while blood vessels dilate. When the flow of blood returns, the area may turn pink or red and then eventually return to normal color. Sometimes the affected skin will turn only white and red during an attack.+When an attack occurs, if you look closely, you may see the skin [[https://www.humanillnesses.com/original/images/hdc_0001_0003_0_img0216.jpg|turn white]] when the blood flow is interrupted.

 When Raynaud's occurs without any underlying disease, it can be caused from repetitive trauma such as working with vibrating tools that damage nerves and blood vessels. When Raynaud's occurs without any underlying disease, it can be caused from repetitive trauma such as working with vibrating tools that damage nerves and blood vessels.
