What the hell is going on with my finger tips (photo)

At least 3 times a day it looks like I have been in the bath as my finger tips go prune like, I'm sat on the sofa and have not been near water for at least 3 hours, what's going on?

Are you drinking enough liquids?

6demandingchildren · 29/11/2018 13:56

Yes I drink lots at least 3 litres a day

A quick look online brings up a number of potential causes, from dehydration to diabetes. See your GP.

Do your finger tips go either (but not both) yellow or purple?
Are they cold?
Just that Raynauds is common and often first observed by people at this time of year

Nothing you can do about it by the way, but understanding what it is allows better management

You started the thread OP.

Mine do this too. I do not have any health issues but I do have a cold house.

Fingers go bluish due to issues with circulation. Get it checked out by a doctor.

My fingers and feet can become ice cold. I'm sat with a hot water bottle a blanket and socks with cozy socks on top and I just took the third pair off.

I don't think it's Raynauds as none of the other symptoms fit.
I think I might be pre-menopausal, I also have a few auto immune conditions but I don't think it's a symptom of those either.
I know I will forget to tell the doctor as I won't make an appointment just for this.

I have autoimmune diseases too Op so it could well be to do with them.
