The Cold-Weather Vampire Bites: Chilblains!

The Cold-Weather Vampire Bites: Chilblains!

Wellness

They usually show up on your fingers, toes, nose, and ears—the extremities you probably forgot to cover with enough layers. They’re mostly harmless and will eventually go away when the weather gets warm (lucky you!), but in the meantime, they’ll be a burning, itching, painful reminder that you are, in fact, sensitive to the cold. Don’t scratch them, unless you’re aiming for a secondary infection—because who doesn’t love a two-for-one medical crisis? Pro-Tip: Warm up slowly. Think of your cold skin as a delicate flower, not a frozen pizza you need to blast in the microwave.
