With this really cold weather, I have terrible chilblains. Are there any remedies or recommendations that Gransnetters use themselves? Thank you.

I haven't been troubled by chilblains for some years but, when I was, all the usual remedies were useless.

Then I came upon the homeopathic tablets Apis Mel. They treat all sorts of things, including burning pain and itching. They worked like magic! Possibly worth a try.

I have them due to the snow, so painful

All I could do was try to keep my feet from getting too cold or warming up too quick

I wear ‘hot feet’ if I’m outside in this weather, I have the hand ones too.

I suffer terribly with chilblains. I bought this on the recommendation of another GNetter, Boots, Superdrug annd many others stock it.
