In Raynaud's phenomenon, the affected extremities turn white, then blue, and red as the blood supply is cut off. The color changes are accompanied by numbness, tingling, burning, and pain.

How rare is it for a baby to have raynauds disease?

Raynauds syndrome usually occurs from about the age of 15. However I am sure there are some exceptions as i got it when i was 13. Raynauds is a heriditary incurable disease. there are two types: primary and secondary. primary is when you just have raynauds on its own. secondary, however can be a little more serious as it is caused by an underlying disease. i would recommend taking your baby to see a doctor as i would suspect it has secondary raynauds if it has raynauds at all.
