Chilblains - Causes, Treatment of Chilblain

All Information about Chilblain Including causes, symptoms and treatment

Chilblain lupus usually affects the fingers and toes and less commonly the nose and ears during the cold winter months and resolves during the summer. Chilblains are more likely to develop in those with poor peripheral circulation. The elderly, sedentary, teenagers and people with medical conditions (such as anaemia) are most susceptible.Chilblain lupus may precede the onset of systemic lupus erythematosus by years, and a skin biopsy of the plaques will help to distinguish true cold induced chilblains or perniosis from lupus.

Treatment of Chilblains

Insulated and heated home and workplace stop up all draughts
Warm clothing especially gloves, thick woollen socks and comfortable protective footwear. Keep the head and neck warm with hat and scarf
