Chilblain is an erythrocyanotic lesion of hands or feet, occurring after prolonged exposure to moderate to cold humidity. Most common in young and slim women, it can happen at every age, and relapses characteristically in autumn and winter. Clinical diversity is the rule, in frequent association with microvascular dysreactivity (mostly acrocyanosis). Chilblain is benign in most cases.
Cutaneous manifestations of lupus erythematosus (LE) are, usually, characteristic enough to permit an easy diagnosis. However, some patients may present less typical lesions, associated or not to the classic ones. Therefore, irrespectively of the variety of LE (acute, subacute and chronic), in absence of the typical butterfly rash, erythematosquamous papules or plaques, or any of the characteristic cutaneous alterations, it is important (even though not always easy) to recognize the uncommon and/or atypical changes of the skin.
