Cold noses

[Dyemetza]

I don't feel the cold, though I always seem to have a cold nose. Does anyone else have this problem?

As I understand it, this can be Raynauds. Fingers, toes, nipples and nose can be involved. My nose is always cold too especially when I have a flare/episode which seems to be often these days.

Dyemetza,

I have the same problem, always have a cold nose, I don't seem to have any feeling in my nose, so difficult when trying to blow my nose. As I have cold hands too think all related to raynauds which is related to my scleroderma (systemic sclerosis). In the winter I wear a scarf wrapped around my mouth and nose which helps keep the nose warm and air warmer entering the lungs. The things we have to do to get by!

Yes - it was one of the things the specialist used to diagnose that I had Raynauds. I went to him with cold legs (in middle of summer), he asked about my feet and hands and then said "excuse me " and touched my nose (which was cold, but I was not aware of it). He said I had Raynaulds and then did the blood tests to see if there was anything else going on. Thankfully there wasn't - so I have Primary Raynaulds.

This is going to sound weird but an advantage I get from my "cold nose" is that in spring/autumn it tells me if the air in the house is getting cold - before the rest of me notices - so it's very useful for avoiding a Raynauds attacks! The only way I can describe it is that I can "smell" the cold.

I'm sorry I don't know a specific way of getting rid of it. If it's a new thing for you, or it's got a lot worse, it maybe worth speaking to your GP/specialist.

I do in winter also cold ears, hands and feet.

In summer I have cold hands and feet.

Hi, i am new here and have not been disgnosed with anything officially but I have noticed that my hands and feet turn purple/red and sometimes white on even just a cool summer night, or just a cool breezy day. My feet in particular feel really cold and wet even towards the upper feet and toes, even with socks on in the house. I have also noticed i have a permanent white patch on the tip of my nose and that also was freezing cold in the late summer ( we had some cool evenings in the uk last summer and I was getting it even then).

I have suffered eith eczema and dry skin and scalp plus numerous allergies all of my life and 2 years ago was diagnosed with corneal disease (keratoconus). My consultant at the eye clinic said i need to be refferred to an immunologist ( my skin was teally bad on my facd that day and body) but my GP didn't get the request on the letter 😡

I know I have gone off subject a little in order to give you an idea of my other health issues. I really do suspect I have Reynauds but not sure if it would show up in blood tests GP does or should I push for the refferal?

I have replied here because the cold nose sort if brpught me out of denial that I could possibly have Reynauds.

Thank you for any help/ thoughts
