Chilblains, also known as pernio, are small, itchy, red patches that appear on the skin after exposure to cold and damp conditions.
Imagine stepping outside on a cold, damp morning, feeling the chill seep through your shoes and into your feet. As the day progresses, you notice small, itchy red patches forming on your toes. These are chilblains, a common yet uncomfortable condition that many people experience during the colder months. Meanwhile, if you’re an avid hiker or someone who spends a lot of time on their feet, you might be all too familiar with the painful blisters that can form from friction and pressure.
