Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on with my skin. It's dry, itchy, and has white spots and red dots. It's very uncomfortable. Could you please tell me what are the causes of chilblains?Doctor's answer:
Recurring frostbite is primarily caused by several factors. Let me explain them one by one.First is age. Children and young adults are high-risk groups and are most prone to recurring frostbite. This is strongly related to age, as elderly individuals rarely experience it.
Second is constitution, including physical strength and blood circulation conditions. These two factors have a significant impact. People with heart or vascular diseases are more likely to develop frostbite.
Third is gender. Women are more prone to frostbite than men of the same age.
Fourth is humidity. In humid environments, the effects and harm of cold are significantly reduced.
Thank you.
