Possible Medical Causes of Cold Feet
8. Scleroderma
Cold feet could be a sign of scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disease that primarily affects women between 35 and 50. This chronic condition hardens the connective tissue, hampering organ function. The resulting collagen buildup constricts blood vessels, making the skin's vessels overreact to cold and stress. People with scleroderma are also more likely to have Raynaud's syndrome, another common cause of cold feet and hands.
