Preferred Label : Cold panniculitis;

ICD-11 definition : Cold panniculitis is a distinctive form of injury to subcutaneous fat provoked directly by cold exposure. Infants are particularly predisposed to this as a result of an increased ratio of saturated to unsaturated fat at birth with a consequent elevation of the freezing point of fat (cold panniculitis of the newborn). It may also be provoked by prolonged exposure to low environmental temperatures. Localised forms include so-called Popsicle panniculitis involving the cheeks of young children as the result of prolonged sucking of ice lollies (ice pops), and cold panniculitis of the lateral thighs, seen particularly in females after prolonged exposure to cold and damp conditions as may result from horse-riding and motor-cycling and similar outdoor pursuits.;
