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.
