Marie Gerhard-Herman MD, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, discusses diagnosis and treatment for Raynaud’s phenomenon. • Raynaud's phenomenon or syndrome is a fairly common condition where people have well demarcated pallor or cyanosis of their fingers, the tips of their nose, tips of their tongue, ear lobes, or toes, meaning there's a color change from normal to either white or blue in any of those areas. • Most believe that this is in response to just your fingers being cold, but that’s not always the case. This response is a neurologic reflex and can happen with cold exposure elsewhere on the body. In most cases, when the body warms up the demarcated area goes away. • This condition can be either primary or secondary. Primary Raynaud’s phenomenon is very common in females and often seen at the beginning of adolescents. Secondary Raynaud's phenomenon can be from a known injury such as frostbite or damaged blood vessels to the fingers. • At Brigham and Women's Hospital, we have a group of doctors that take care of patients with Raynaud's phenomenon enabling accurate diagnosis in a single visit. • Learn more about Raynaud’s phenomenon: • https://www.brighamandwomens.org/medi... • Read the Raynaud’s Phenomenon video transcript: • https://www.brighamandwomens.org/medi...
