Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is characterized by local artery vasoconstriction in response to cold exposure or emotional stress. RP appears as attacks of blanching or cyanosis of digits, or both, followed by a hyperaemic phase. Usually the digits of the hands or less commonly of the feet are affected. Other sites such as nose, ears could also be affected. We report a patient who has been suffering for long time of cold induced sensitivity associated with well demarcated pallor of the scrotum.
