Description

What on earth is that?  A tiny stinging sore sits right on top of a joint on a toe.  You have been wearing sandals on a warm summer day, hiking in the back country in a forest with small streams.  You don't remember bumping it.  This is a chilblain.  They are common, yet most people know little about them.  Listen and learn about these tiny irritating sores.
