Chilblains

[jennywren444]

I get chilblains from raynauds from lupus. Does anyone know a good way to help get rid of them? Also on immunosuppressants so don't heal very quickly.

Agree with jennyhe

Also a cream i find really good is one called AKILWINTER, can be purchased online

from Ease 4feet, mainly i think meant for poor circulation in feet but can be used for hands and even face. Hope this helps and good luck

Yes, chilblains can be a nightmare. The best advice I've found is on another healthunlocked forum: the raynauds & scleroderma society. Maybe you know this forum already? You can add this forum to your healthunlocked communities and go to it via 'your communities' at the top of this page. It's a great forum, like this one, and there are lots of good and experienced people on it. Many are on immunosuppressants too

Take care nd good luck

Thank you for all the advice. I'm fairly new on here and it's really good to get help from people going through the same stuff. I'll have a look in to it all, the snowfire sounds good. Thanks again x
