Chilblains is a cutaneous disease characterized by redness, itching, inflammation and possible blisters on the skin area exposed to cold but non-freezing wet weather. We have read with great interest the retrospective cohort study recently published by Muser et al exploring the association between chilblains lesions development and COVID-19 pandemic and infection. Data on the role of COVID-19 infection on chilblains development are contrasting. Moreover, chilblains have been reported also following COVID-19 vaccination.
