Chilblains are a chronic condition characterized by inflammation and swelling of the skin, particularly in the extremities. They are often triggered by exposure to cold, damp weather, and can cause symptoms such as redness, itching, and pain. When symptoms worsen or persist, it is important to seek care from a qualified clinician to confirm or rule out chilblains. Chilblains can be confirmed by keeping the affected area warm and avoiding rapid rewarming. Treatment is typically managed by a clinician after confirming the diagnosis and may include medications or other interventions.
