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
