A member asked:

I have what looks like a chill blain on my finger but it's been hot weather. is this possible and how should i treat it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seek care: As chilblains are triggered by cold, you obviously have a different problem. See your General Physician, Urgent Care (not ER), or a Dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
