Treatment
The most important management is the complete cessation of smoking and tobacco products. Conservative management for Raynaud’s phenomenon, such as protecting fingers and toes from the cold is important. Ulcerations may need debridement, antibiotic treatments, and amputation may be required in extreme cases.
Medications such as Iloprost, calcium channel blockers (nifedipine, amlodipine) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy can at times be used.
