Cold hands

Causes

Cold hands may be caused by simply being in a cold room or other chilly environment. Cold hands are often a sign that your body is trying to maintain its normal body temperature.

Always having cold hands, however, could mean there's a problem with your blood flow or the blood vessels in your hands.

Causes of cold hands include:

  • Anemia
  • Buerger's disease
  • Diabetes
  • Frostbite
  • Lupus
  • Raynaud's disease
  • Scleroderma
