What Causes Pale Skin And Cold Sensations In Body?

My toes have recently started turning completely white and numb after becoming cold, and I've had a hard time with being cold all my life. My skin turns very white with a purple lacy pattern and when I press on it, it takes a good 10-20 seconds to return to a normal shade again. Usually it turns red where I touch it.
