Abstract

This study aimed to retrospectively investigate the association between chilblain lesions and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our results demonstrate a stronger and more significant association between incidence of chilblain cases and monthly temperature compared with incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection. These results suggest cold weather was an important risk factor for developing chilblains during the COVID-19 pandemic.
