Help with chilblains please
#31
I remember having chilblains in my feet during winter when I was a teenager and had to walk quite a way to the catch the bus to school. I did suffer and remember the pain was like a throbbing irritation that just wouldn't go away.
My Mum or Nan said I should try an old remedy which seemed to work, I know it didn't do any harm - which was to soak my feet in urine. It sounds awful I know but I was so desperate to get some relief ... oh, and of course it was my own!!
Don't know if you are game enough to do this with your hands though!

If you are turned off with the idea, mix your first morning voiding with oatmeal and something like baby oil to make your own lotion. Give it a chance to soak in before washing. Repeat several times a day, but make a fresh batch each day.

OUCH!!
Here in Australia, you can buy cream over the counter at the Chemist.
I havnt had them for years now, but I used to hang my feet
out of the bed, so that they were cold, and didnt itch.
A doctor once told me to pee on my feet, but I didnt go for that one.
