What is the difference between Buerger’s disease and Raynaud’s disease?

Raynaud’s disease (also called Raynaud’s phenomenon) can be a symptom of Buerger’s disease. With Raynaud’s disease, the blood vessels in your toes and fingers collapse because you’re feeling cold or you’re under stress. The lack of enough blood getting through your blood vessels makes your skin look white or blue. After a few minutes or hours, your skin looks red and can feel numb or tingly.

Simply warming up your hands, wearing gloves or wearing warm socks can help relieve the symptoms. Buerger’s disease is painful and has a lot more symptoms than Raynaud’s disease.
