Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. I think you may be having a condition which is called Raynaud's disease. In this there is spasm of vessels when there is contact of cold water. Before I advised you any further I would like to know little detail of the illness.
1.Since when you are having these symptoms?
2.Do you feel these symptoms when your hands comes in contact with cold water or ice?
