A skin expert has suggested that the ongoing cost of living crisis could cause a rise in the number of people developing itchy swellings called chilblains.
You might think getting home on a cold day and feeling the rush of warmth is a great moment, but this can actually be a huge trigger for chilblains.
The swellings tend to affect the extremities and while they are nothing to be too concerned about, they can be uncomfortable and can become infected if the skin is broken.
