She may also experience Raynauds in her nipples...just a little warning. Two of my young friends who have recently had babes have had this. Hope all goes well for her and she gets the right support....you must be worried...x

The picture looks like Raynaud's to me but I am not a specialist, just a sufferer. Is your daughter anorexic? I wonder if that is the cause of her troubles. You must be very anxious. Does the doctor that is treating her answer your questions?
