Chilblains on the feet are a fairly common disorder of the feet in colder climates which can be quite painful. They are due to alterations in the temperature of the feet from being cold to warmer too rapidly for the micro blood vessels to respond to this alteration in temperature. This causes an inflammatory process that becomes itchy and then painful as it becomes established. The skin of chilblains at first becomes red and irritated looking, but then takes on more of a dark blueish colour as it becomes more long term.
The management of chilblains is initially to prevent one by using warm socks and footwear so that the foot does not get too cold. When a chilblain has occurred, then you need to try creams and other medicines to relive the itchy, inflammation and pain. Physical stimulation by massaging the area can help move the circulation and move on the waste products that have accumulated from the inflammation in the chilblain.
