Chilblains Skin Care Range
Chilblains are an extreme reaction to cold, in which superficial blood vessels contract
excessively causing skin to go pale and numb, then red, swollen, and itchy. They
are most common on the hands and feet and can break and get worse with repeated exposure
to cold and damp.
To help prevent chilblains, keep your feet and legs warm, especially if your circulation
is poor and your mobility is limited. The whole leg rather than just the feet, needs
to be kept warm, so trousers, long boots, tights and leg warmers or long socks will
help.
Wool is comfortable and warm as it naturally traps air, but other fibres will be equally warm if they are knitted. Try not to expose yourself to extremes of cold, perhaps by delaying going out until later in the day. Try not to stand or sit in a cold, draughty environment.
