Chilblains or ulcers?

[Dancingc21]

I’m getting lots of painful bumps on my hands/fingers at the moment (see photo). Are these chillblains or ulcers? I’m on sildenifil for my raynauds but wondering if I need to do something more?! I have a bad chillblain on my toe but using balmosa cream for this.

Hello Dancing...sorry you’re getting this sort of manifestation, but: me too..in some ways, mine look like yours when mine are first starting up...i posted on HealthUnlocked recently with photos asking for comments about mine - both here on this forum & on my other forums.

I got some v helpful replies here + on my HU Lupus UK & Vasculitis UK community forums.

For what it’s worth, this is the link to my post here on SRUK forum:

Hi,

They don't look like either the chilblains or ulcers that I have had, if they are tiny blisters they look more like a type of eczema.

Hi, these don’t look like my chilblains or ulcers either.

It looks like pompholyx which is a type of eczema.

I’ve looked that up and it does fit with my symptoms. Thanks - might be worth a trip to the GP.
