Question- What is chill blane?

answer- Chilblains are also called perniosis or pernio. In fact, when the skin is exposed to cold, moist air for a long time, the blood vessels near the surface shrink, which reduces the flow of oxygen and starts inflammation. Later, when the skin suddenly gets hot, the blood vessels expand rapidly. Sometimes this change is so rapid that excess blood starts seeping into the surrounding tissues, which increases itching, redness and inflammation.
