Raynaud’s syndrome is a vascular condition characterized by episodic attacks of reduced blood flow to extremities, often triggered by cold or stress. Rarely fatal, severe cases may cause ulcers or gangrene. Morbidity increases with underlying diseases like scleroderma. Treatment, including lifestyle changes and medications, effectively manages most cases, improving circulation and reducing complications.
Varicose veins, swollen twisted veins typically in legs, affect 10-30% of adults, more in women and older populations. While rarely life-threatening, they can cause discomfort and complications like ulcers. Effective treatments include compression therapy, sclerotherapy, and minimally invasive surgeries in extreme cases.
Warts are benign or noncancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They’re most common on hands, feet, and even the face, but they can show up anywhere on the body. They affect people of all ages but are more common in children and young adults. Though they may be bothersome or persistent, they are generally harmless and often resolve on their own.
