What are chilblains? ❄️

Chilblains, also known as Perino, are small itchy, red swellings on the skin. Sadly, they can become increasingly painful, especially if left untreated, leaving the skin cracked and open to infection. They are most commonly found on your fingers and toes but can also develop on your face and legs. Other areas of your feet are at risk if they are already exposed to pressure, for instance, from bunions or areas squeezed by tight-fitting footwear.

| Wearing the appropriate footwear in the snow or ice is essential to preventing injury.

It is recommended that you choose a pair of shoes that support your foot arches with a non-slip and grippy sole. This means that even on slippery surfaces, you can gain some stability, waterproof footwear is also important as it keeps your feet dry and free from infection.
