GlossaryChilblains (COVID toes)

itchy, red swellings on skin from cold exposure

Chilblains, also known as pernio or perniosis, are small, itchy, red or purple swellings on the skin that occur as a reaction to cold temperatures. They typically affect the fingers, toes, ears, and nose, and result from inflammation of small blood vessels in response to repeated exposure to cold but non-freezing air. This condition can cause pain, blistering, and in severe cases, ulceration.
