What it actually means if one of your fingers turns white when it’s cold

Your hands have probably been cold because of the recent freezing temperatures, but when should you be concerned?

A condition may be present if your fingers turn completely white and you are unable to warm your hands or feet no matter what you do.

In the middle of summer, are you the person who sits in the office wearing gloves and begs the bosses to turn off the air conditioner?Or perhaps you try in vain to warm your hands by clinging to the radiator at home.To try to keep their extremities warm, some people purchase heated gloves or hold warm coffee, but there may be more at play than the cold weather.
