What Causes Greenish Discoloration Of Middle Finger?

I was in a cold air-conditioned envrionment, the supermarket, and my middle finger on my left hand stiffened-up, turned white/greenish and got a leathery feel. It started to spread to my other fingers on my left hand. I put my hand in my pants to warm it up and after about 5 minutes, It started to throb/hurt, but the color and texture came back.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such symptoms may not be due to cold environment (Air condition) directly but of course pre-existing condition can aggravate or may get prominent, with cold air condition air, and possibility of blood circulation disturbances thrombosis need to be ruled out, you have to see the vascular surgeon, hope this information helps, take care.
