There are many causes of cold hands. Some aren't a cause for concern. Others may need medical treatment.

Cold hands may be caused by simply being in a cold room or other chilly place. Cold hands often are a sign that the body is trying to control its regular body temperature.

But always having cold hands could mean there's a problem with the blood flow or the blood vessels in the hands.

Health conditions that can cause cold hands include:

1. Anemia — a condition in which the body doesn't get oxygen due to a lack of healthy red blood cells
2. Buerger disease
3. Diabetes
4. Frostbite
5. Lupus
6. Raynaud's disease
7. Scleroderma
