[Cold-induced skin damage].

M Kühl, H Tronnier

    Summary

    Cold exposure can cause significant skin damage, including cold-induced panniculitis and dermo-hypodermitis. These cases highlight the importance of considering cold as a primary factor in diagnosing skin conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Skin damage can arise from environmental factors, with cold exposure being a significant, yet sometimes overlooked, cause.
    • Accurate diagnosis of cold-induced skin conditions relies on thorough patient history and clinical observation.

    Observation:

    • Reported are two distinct cases of cold-induced skin damage.
    • Case 1: Cold-induced panniculitis (Adiponecrosis e frigore) in a pediatric patient.
    • Case 2: Dermo-hypodermitis in an elderly female, where cold was a major contributing factor.

    Findings:

    • Neither the patients nor their guardians initially suspected cold as the cause of the skin conditions.
    • Inadequate exploration of medical history by previous physicians potentially delayed diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Emphasizes the need for clinicians to consider cold exposure in the differential diagnosis of skin lesions.
    • Highlights the importance of comprehensive anamnestic exploration for accurate diagnosis and treatment of cold-related dermatoses.
    • Suggests increased awareness and education regarding the potential for cold-induced skin damage is warranted.
