Chilblains
November 1st, 2017
Chilblains are the result of too rapid warming of cold parts, generally feet or fingers. Sometimes for years after being frost-bitten, exposure to severe cold will produce itching and burning, and perhaps swelling and ulcers.
Treatment:
Rub with turpentine or alcohol. The rubbing in itself is excellent. See doctor.
