For goodness sake, get her to a doctor ASAP. Is she anorexic by any chance?

It's called Raynaud's Phenomenon, here's the basic Patient UK leaflet :

I'm not going to be as alarmist as jude65855 but it's true the actual cause should be determined and treated if possible

  I don't see how it's alarmist to suggest Jessica takes her daughter to the doctor rather than asking strangers on the internet to come up with a diagnosis
