In my case, It generally starts to itch at night and whenever my fingers becomes warm it starts to itch badly so whenever i go to sleep i take out my feet outside of the blanket but its really hard to put your feet outside in the winter overnight so after 5 minutes of my feet staying inside blanket it starts to itch
@@lilac417 a small tip if it start to itch just divert your mind and don't touch your fingers put your feet outside of blanket it won't itch badly
@@lilac417 extract juice from beet root and dip a cotton then apply in your fingers and apply moisturizer every time you wear socks and shoes
This trick has helped me
I am also dealing with the same situation from my school life But still searching for the effecting treatment but disappointing 😢😢😢😢😢
I'm having this problem right now , and I can't sleep at all . The itchi g is soo bad it's keeping me up but I don't have any treatments for it . Currently loosing my mind trying not to scratch it .
Same here best treatment is to keep them warm and protected from outside weather.
Here's an advice from someone who has been through this : warm the itching area through any way EXCEPT ARTIFICIAL HEAT, do not depend mainly on hot water, try wearing socks and putting your feet under the blanket until it warms, it may itch at the beginning, but trust me, after warming it, it will relive the itching, hopefully it helps and feel free to ask about anything.
thankyou I,M DOING EXACTLY THIS AS I FIRST READ YR COMMENT.
🙏sir, what is the role of Interferon type 1 in chilblains ❓
I started getting issues after I got a cold (possibly Covid) in 2022. If the temperature goes below 14C randomly my fingers swell or patches of skin on my fingers come up like you have had an insect bite. The swelling lasts for 1-2 weeks, if it's just a small area 1 week.
I can be in the cold for literally 3 minutes and boom a patch of skin on random fingers swells up. If I don't wear two pairs of socks when I got outside in temperatures below ~10C my toes and the back of my heel swells up (probably because they get the coldest from touching the edge of the shoes), that is seriously painful makes it so you can't walk properly or at all. I just end up having to power through the pain, after 5 minutes of walking you get used to it and it starts not to hurt anymore. Probably not recommended though because It also starts to bruise.
On top of that I also have something that makes the tips of some of my finger go numb, my fingers go visibly whiter like it has restricted blood flow, but only in a couple of fingers and it's on both hands at the same time, makes zero sense, no other area just the fingers. It's utterly random when it happens as well, not dependent on temperature.
I'm pretty sure it's one of these conditions caused by a virus, I have no other explanation. I don't fall into the categories of being more susceptible. It really sucks because I don't even feel cold when I get it, when you start to feel a lump under the skin you know you are gonna be in a world of pain for at least a week.
Mine started after I got covid in 2022 as well. I've found a shot of ginger with lemon juice, turmeric, cinnamon, sprinkle of clove and cayenne pepper twice a day has helped reduce the inflammation when a spot appears, it doesn't get quite as bad. The other condition you're experiencing is Reynaud's syndrome, where blood circulation in the fingers is constricted and the finger goes white and numb.
Not sure if you have a diagnosis about the white fingers yet , but I would recommend looking up reynauds phenomenon
I'm diabetics and sleep in snow winter boots. I am in so much pain.i have one on 3 toes right now and pray they do not open
I have been suffering from this condition for four years now. It starts in winter and even as i write, my toes and fingers are in constant agony. I havent used any kind of drugs, please tell about some non-prescription drugs i can use.
Have you had this for 4 years nonstop?? Did it get worse?
I apply , Vicks ,diclofenece gel use cotton socks
I get swere chillblains on my toes and i cry whole night. My doctor advised me to use GTN forte which makes it better when i apply it but still i wish i can get rid of it permanently. I am still suffering from it right now and I'm crying while typing. I wish there was some treatment which can heal it permanently and quickly. I wish i never get chillblains again.
Advice from someone who has been suffering from four years, try staying away from heat and when i say heat, i mean any artificial source of direct heat. Including: stoves, heaters, radiators. Try warming the affected area gently with steam. And my intention is not to distraught you but trustme it gets worse.
@@joaboby2as soon as i entered a sauna heated damn restaurant i knew i would get them...
We use rubbing alcohol on cotton pads every am and every night. The less time I wear socks the better to let feet breathe. If really bad we soak feet in cheap vodka for 5 to 10 mins no longer.
me too. but I know the Lord Jesus can heal me. H e can help you too. He sees your struggle and pain and He wants to help you. Call on HIM for healing in faith. He loves you so so much. May He heal us all💗
@@cookieplayzyt9898 BUT IF YOUR TOES/FEET GET DRUNK, WONT YOU FALL OVER ?
🙏 sir, why chilblains happened in SPRING season during COVID -19 time to patients ( with neither any past chilblains history,or family history)
It’s because of sedentary lifestyle. People did little to no outdoor activities. Causing less flow of blood. Consequently, increasing the viscosity of blood and leading to pernio.
@@joaboby2 thanks sir 🙏😊
My problems have lasted for almost 2months now. I'm not a smoker but as im swedish i use Snus, which i suspect is just as bad in this case. My fingers often get pail and my finger nails blue, however, its my toes that have chilblains.
In my case i should probably quit the Snus 😢
It’s not a surprise. In fact I think it should be more common for people living far in the north. I live in a tropical region where the temperature gets as high as 50°C in the summer and as low as 0°C in the winter with endless foggy days which last for 1-2 months and no sunlight. I guess you can relate considering at the poles you barely see sun in the winters. Word of advice: I think it’s not mostly because of climate/weather, I think it depends upon your diet. Ever considered quitting coffee/ tea? Or anything that contains caffeine or anything that can increase the viscosity of your blood? It can include from calcium to sodium ions, which are directly or indirectly involved in our diet. I think it’s more influenced by our diet rather than lifestyle.
never expose your skin to a heat source, especially if youve got cold feet after going outside. Buy some thick nordic socks. I also think the recent 2 winters i did NOT get them must have been due to me sea swimming up til November and benefitting my vascular health this way - i think im gonna do the sea swimming again later this year to see if i dont get them next winter
Fortunately we do not have this in countries with tropical climate
what are you saying im from south asia, I live in an arid area and the temp gets as low as 4 degrees. Ive been suffering from it since 4 years.
From southeast asia to korea for working... suddenly suffer this from winter. I doubt myself, is it diabetic. I used to spraying my toes with medicine but nothing work.
Literally watching this from Northern India currently temp is 6°C 😂 Haven't seen the sun for days.
I have it and i live in india
@@EuphoricWorld-v3d this is exactly what I’m talking about. People think just because we live in tropical regions, we don’t feel cold or somehow we are immune to it. Like BOY- we are more prone and sensitive to it. So we developing such conditions are completely justifiable. Speaking of which Luckily the foggy days subdued and the sun finally came out last week.
