I've had this reoccuring problem for 3 winters now. The first winter, I went to the Podiatrist and he said "hmmmm, I don't know, maybe frostbite"? When it happened again last year, I went back to him and he said he didn't know what it was.
Well, a month ago, I got it again. I went and saw my MD and he took one look and said "Raynaud's Phenomenon". So, after some researching, I found out that Raynaud's is a vascular related situation along with a reaction to the cold combined with stress. Makes sense now.
So you can either have the Phenonmenon or the Syndrome. Phenonenen is when it is not associated with any other disease/disorder. Syndrome is when it is associated with another condition like Lupus or RA. Hope this helps.
