Chilblains may result from insufficient clothing, a weakened immune system, or prolonged exposure to cold environments. Failure to maintain adequate personal warmth can lead to excessive cold exposure and subsequent chilblains. Similarly, a compromised immune system may contribute to general physical weakness, increasing susceptibility to chilblains. Therefore, it is important to adjust clothing appropriately according to temperature changes and ensure proper thermal protection.
