๐Ÿ“‹Overview

This neurovascular disorder primarily affects the feet and hands, where abnormal blood flow and nerve function lead to distinct symptomatic flares. These episodes may be triggered by environmental warmth or physical exertion, causing the skin to become visibly erythematous and warm to the touch.

Clinical observations suggest the condition involves dysfunction within both the small blood vessels and sensory nervous system pathways. This mechanism results in a combination of vascular changes and heightened neurological sensitivity that can vary in frequency and intensity.
