Raynaud phenomenon refers to the contraction of arterioles in the body caused by cold, emotional tension or other reasons, thus reducing blood supply. Reynolds phenomenon is more common in young women. The site of the disease is usually fingers and toes, but it may also affect the nose, lips and earlobes. Raynaud's phenomenon can lead to discoloration of "red, white and blue" skin, as well as stenosis and dilation of blood vessels. Keeping warm, reducing stress and other lifestyle changes usually improve symptoms. Raynaud's phenomenon caused by connective tissue diseases (such as scleroderma, lupus erythematosus and Sjogren's syndrome) will be more serious than simple Raynaud's phenomenon.
