ICD-11 code : NF03.0;
Preferred Label : Chilblains;
ICD-11 definition : Chilblains are the result of cold-induced damage principally to the microvasculature
of acral skin in susceptible individuals. They are commonest in the winter months
in cold, damp climates. They present as itchy or painful red-purple macules, papules
or plaques, most commonly affecting the fingers and toes, though other body extremities
including the heels, nose and ears can be involved. Because of insulation from core
body temperature, other areas, especially the lateral thighs, may be involved in areas
where there is a thick layer of subcutaneous fat.;
