Cold Point

A cold spot is a tiny area of ​​the skin surface that, when irritated, causes a particularly distinct feeling of cold sensation. This phenomenon was described in ancient times and still does not have a clear explanation.

It is believed that a cold spot exists on every square centimeter of human skin, and the number of them can vary from 12 to 15 per square centimeter. However, the exact nature of the cold point and its relationship to the skin still remains a mystery.

A cold spot can occur under different conditions, such as exposure to cold or stimulation of certain nerve endings. Some scientists suggest that cold spots may be related to the activity of nerve endings that respond to cold, and that they could be used to diagnose various diseases.

However, most scientists believe that cold spots are simply part of normal skin physiology and are not associated with any serious medical conditions.

Cold spot (cold irritation) is a type of cold allergy, for the appearance of which very little exposure to cold air is enough, and sometimes even minor factors can trigger the development of a reaction. Cold irritation of the skin is based on the reaction of cold sensors to low-intensity external irritation, such as cold or wind (or any other cold air). It is believed that this happens not because the skin or skin sensor (thermal sensors) are sensitive to air (ambient) temperature, but because low air temperatures can activate pain sensors responsible for sensitivity to other factors, such as cold . If such a cold spot occurs at least once in a person’s life, then
