Chilblains: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment - A Comprehensive Guide

Chilblains

Chilblains are small, itchy, red, and sometimes painful swellings that occur on the hands or feet. They are caused by exposure to cold, damp weather and usually clear up within a few weeks. Chilblains can be treated with creams or gels that contain capsaicin or menthol, and by avoiding exposure to cold and damp weather.
