Raynaud’s phenomenon

By JOM Staff

A 30-year-old woman presented to the allergy and immunology clinic in December 2022, having noted recurrent episodes of pallor in her fingers for the past 5 years. This blanching occurred somewhat symmetrically and circumferentially, and it always began at the tip of the digits. Each of these episodes lasted approximately 10 min and mainly followed exposure to cold temperatures but sometimes occurred after carrying groceries.
