Hello and welcome to HCM,
The natural history of Raynaud's disease is characterized by change in color from pale to blue to pink.
Raynaud's disease is a vascular disorder causing inflammation of blood vessels.
Thus, the change in color to blue and then back to normal is a normal finding in Raynaud's disease.
Since, Raynaud's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease, treatment has to be continued.
The disease becomes worse in winters but improves in summers.
Thanks and take care
