Can this be raynauds?

lately when I go out, my hands get cold, but not too bad (I wear warm gloves) but when I come back in they swell and are teribly itchy  and bright red. I dont have to be outside long, 10 minutes will do it..
 
what can I do for it?

I'd like to know this too. The same exact thing happens to me!! They will even get that way even if I'm not outside. Sometimes, just my hands being unactive (watching tv or reading) they will do this.

Not sure that this is Raynauds.  I have Raynauds, but that's not what happens to me.  When my hands get cold, my fingers turn white and are numb.  When the feeling comes back, they turn a reddish/purple.  But who knows...maybe there are other symptoms?  Maybe you need to let your doctor know about this.I have Raynauds and my hands turn purple or white and numb. They do hurt as they warm up. I have had that itchy redness though too-maybe something like chillblains? I'm not sure what it is.

Yep the same for me..can hurt when the blood flows again.
I only get that sometimes. I've been getting it since I was a kid. I never really thought about it before. I always assumed it was poor circulation. It always seemed the more I moved around, the less it happened.
