Solution

A chilblain is a cold injury in which the skin becomes swollen and red. It usually occurs due to intermittent exposure to temperatures above freezing along with high humidity. Chilblain itself is generally not a dangerous cold injury. However, it may cause open sores or lesions, which can become infected and may lead to more serious cold injuries.
