Chilblains

Overview

Chilblains are small, itchy swellings that occur as a reaction to cold temperatures. They affect the body’s extremities, such as the toes, fingers, heels, ears and nose.

Chilblains are uncomfortable but can be prevented. They usually develop several hours after exposure to the cold, and it is possible to get several at the same time.

Some people have chilblains every winter that last for up to five months. These can cause persistent sores that may lead to scarring.

Symptoms

The symptoms of chilblains include burning and itching on the hands and feet and a change of skin color. In some cases, the skin may become sore and blister.

Sometimes there are possible complications of chilblains and these include:

infection from blistered or scratched skin

ulcers forming on the skin

permanent discoloration of the skin

scarring of the skin

It is often possible to avoid these complications by not scratching or rubbing the area, and not directly overheating the chilblains (for example by using hot water).

Chilblains are an abnormal reaction to the cold. When the skin is cold, blood vessels near its surface get narrower. If the skin is then exposed to heat, the blood vessels become wider. If this happens too quickly, blood can leak into the surrounding tissue. This is thought to be the reason for the swelling and itchiness associated with chilblains.

Chilblains can occur at any age, but are more common in children and elderly people. The condition also affects women more than men. Certain people, such as people with poor circulation, are more susceptible to chilblains.

Chilblains are common in northern Europe, where damp, cold weather is usual in winter. They are less common in countries with extremely cold winters, because the air is drier and people have homes and clothing that conserve heat better.
