Why can chicks appear
It is believed that the main reason is wind and cold. Sometimes even gloves do not help in frosts, for example, they are too thin, or you took them off for a short period of time while playing with your child. But if there is an allergy to cold, the skin is too sensitive, then chicks can not be avoided.
However, doctors report that one exposure to cold is not enough - for the appearance of irritation on the skin, there must be other factors, which include:
- too thin or dry skin;
