What is Chilbrains? I found this, sounds so painful!

Lifestyle and home remedies
By Mayo Clinic staff

Chilblains usually clear up after one to three weeks. In the meantime, you can take steps to ease your symptoms, including:

■Keeping your affected skin warm, but away from sources of heat
■Using lotions to alleviate itching and swelling
■Making sure the affected skin is cleaned with an antiseptic to prevent infection
■Avoiding scratching
