Chilblains

[TJme]

Any tips on how to care for my chilblains ( they are chilblains not a skin issue ) this is what they look like come up on top of years if scar tissue created by the same issue . I'm taking Amlodopine Lorsatan and Venaflexin also pain killers but my hands and feet are like this despite having a warm core temp . I've tried the wax baths prescribed by prof Denton's team but they're having not effect

They look really sore. Sorry, I don't have a magic cure but just wanted to say that I feel your pain. I get them every year all through the winter. Never mind what I do I just can't get rid of them, then I get the dreaded ulcers to go with them. I have Iloprost infusions which help for maybe a few weeks, steroids also work but as soon as I stop the steroids they come back again. Good luck, I hope you find something that works, Xx

Just joined the group this week. I am having this for the first time right now on three fingers. All three fingers started with fingertip ulcers that I have been battling for months. Making me nuts. Anxious to see the responses you get.

Here's a link that Ollie at SRUK recently sent to our local (Sussex) SRUK support group. I haven't had chance to watch it yet - don't get chilblains (yet!) but hopefully it could be useful. Lots of their videos and resources are! sruk.co.uk/raynauds/chilbla...

I had a friend make an oil for me to use that has vanilla and lavender in it. When I get flare ups in the winter I rub it on the affected areas at night and it really seems to help with the associated inflammation and overall severity.

This really looks like pompholyx or dyshydrotic eczema. I have raynauds as well as those exact bumps at times which were diagnosed by a dermatologist.
