News items on 'Chilblains'
Ask the doctor: What has caused my painful chilblains
(Daily Mail 16/03/2009)
I am plagued with chilblains. I did suffer from them as a child, but they disappeared after treatment. Now I am 72, they have returned. I'm not on medication for any other conditions and am generally in good health. Could you please advise what causes chilblains and if there is any medication I could buy to alleviate the constant pain and itching? It also makes walking rather painful.

Over the last two months, during the depths of this coldest winter for 27 years, more and more people turned to the web to find out why they'd suddenly been afflicted. And as the temperatures plummeted, the situation got worse. The problem? Chilblains - a disease from the past.
