A member asked:
If i have chilblains, will i be more prone to getting it again in the future or is it a come and go disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You are more prone: Chilblains are a tissue injury that occurs when a predisposed individual is exposed to cold and humidity. The cold exposure damages capillary beds in the skin, which in turn can cause redness, itching, blisters, and inflammation. A history of chilblains is suggestive of a connective tissue disease, thus, you are more succeptible to having it again.
