It’s officially #chilblain (AKA perniosis) season again ❄️ 🧊
Chilblains are itchy, burning, red/purple, lumps on the toes/fingers…
A 🧵 with some tips (based on professional and personal experience!) - #dermtwitter1. When at home avoid barefoot/ thin socks on cold, tiled/wooden floors 2. Keep indoor environment warm (including water bottles/ blankets where appropriate!) 3. Wrap up outside - hands, feet, core and head!… especially relevant if not moving e.g watching sport 🏉 ⚽️
