Chilblains, also known as pernio, are caused by the inflammation of small blood vessels in the skin and are a common reaction to extreme cold. Chilblains, an injury caused by exposure to cold, are more prevalent in northern latitudes.
- Chilblains are characterized by patches of red, itchy, swollen, and painful skin, most frequently on the fingers, toes, ears, and nose. Discoloration, blistering, and even ulceration of the skin are possible side effects. Cold temperatures followed by rapid warming can cause a localized inflammatory response in the skin, resulting in chilblains.
