Niranjana is correct. I have the opposite of Raynauds, Erythromelalgia. Instead of my hands being cold mine are hot, red, and burning pain. The NTG works for that too. Hope this helps you.

Yes, applying NTG ointment to the affected areas can be helpful, Ekaterina. Has your doctor suggested it? Calcium channel blockers were previously used, but they lower BP and may be hard to tolerate.
Most importantly, bundling up, layering, and leaving no areas exposed to cold are all critical.

Can nitroglycerin ointment help with Raynaud's syndrome?

Can nitroglycerin ointment help with Raynaud's syndrome?
Yes, transdermal nitroglycerin ointment can be used for Raynaud's syndrome. For severe Raynaud's symptoms, doctors may recommend nitroglycerin ointment specifically to help heal skin ulcers (sores) that can develop from poor circulation.
Nitroglycerin ointment works by helping to open blood vessels and improve blood flow to affected areas. This is particularly useful when Raynaud's has progressed to the point of causing wounds or ulcers on the fingers or toes.
It's important to note that this treatment is typically reserved for more serious cases of Raynaud's. For mild symptoms, keeping warm with gloves and socks is usually the first approach.
Always consult with your doctor before starting any new treatment. They can determine if nitroglycerin ointment is appropriate for your specific situation and provide guidance on proper use.
