“One of the doctors here with us said it is either something called frost pox or chilblains and then said it should clear up in six months!”

The condition is the result of tissue fat being exposed to the extreme cold and should improve once Miss Skelton returns to warmer climes.

She also told how she feared being told to abandon the trek last week after developing a serious hacking cough.

“It was a chesty cough and the doctors suggested I try and get things over and done with as quickly as possible or it could turn in to pneumonia,” she said.

Miss Skelton, who wrote regular updates on her journey for The Daily Telegraph, arrived at the South Pole late on Saturday night.

She covered more than 100 miles on a specially adapted bicycle and also set a new Guinness World Records title for the fastest 100km by kite ski.

She covered the required distance in just seven hours and 28 minutes.

"This has been a massive adventure and at times it felt like it was never going to end,” she said.
