Chilblains (/ËtÊÉªlbleÉªnz/) â also known as pernio, Chill Burns and perniosis â is a medical condition that occurs when a predisposed individual is exposed to cold and humidity, causing tissue damage. It is often confused with frostbite and trench foot.
There are two types of chilblains: chronic and acute. The chronic type of chilblains last for at least five months of the year for at least three years. With chronic chilblains you may also see scarring. People who have acute chilblains usually only have them for one to two weeks.f you are susceptible to chilblains, be sensible in cold weather by wearing gloves and warm clothing worn in layers. If you are outside in the cold, keep active to improve your circulation and do not wear tight shoes because this can restrict circulation. Keep your skin moisturised.
