[Cold-induced skin damage].

Two cases of cold-induced skin-damage are reported. In one case cold-induced panniculitis (Adiponecrosis e frigore) in a small child was found. In the other case a Dermo-Hypodermitis in an elderly lady was found, where cold was possibly just one, even if certainly the most important factor of realisation for the disease. In both cases neither the parents, respectively the patient, thought of cold-inducement of the disease, neither were anamnestic circumstances sufficiently explorated by the prior treating doctors, so that it seems justified to demonstrate such events in relation to this subject.
