raynaud's disease

a condition that causes some areas of your body – such as your fingers, toes, the tip of your nose and your ears – to feel numb and cool in response to cold temperatures or stress. In Raynaud’s disease, smaller arteries that supply blood to your skin narrow, limiting blood circulation to affected areas.
