Small red bumps occur on the fingers close to the tips and
finger nails. This inflammatory reaction is caused by the
fingers being exposed to cold, damp conditions. Very
common in countries like England, Scotland, Ireland and
France - wherever there are cold damp weather patterns.In
the initial stages they are very sore to touch and very red.
As they start to heal they become quite itchy. Chilblains can
last up to 4 weeks.
You can have chilblains on your fingers or toes or both.
Symptoms are similar to Frostbite but is not as severe or
damaging. |
