Cold Temperature Sensitivity
Some people's skin is very sensitive to cold temperatures and reacts abnormally. For example:
- The fingers, toes, nose, or ears may turn pale or white. Later they may turn blue.
- These areas may feel numb and tingly and feel very cold to the touch.
- As the areas warm, they may turn red and start to throb.
