Brief Answer:
Possible Arterial disease to be ruled out

Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am,

I can certainly understand your concern

I have worked through your attached query in detail

As per your description, the possibility of a Raynaud's disease is very high.

Additionally, it's important to rule out connective tissue disorders.

In the presence of negative workup, a short course of oral antibiotics may be helpful to eliminate Infection if any.

Post your further queries if any

Thank you
