My daughter has chilblains on her hands. Anyone got a cure?

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

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

I've never heard of them. I sure hope she gets some relief quickly

I've only heard of that in old movies. always wondered what it is. these days it's probably called something else.
I hope it gets better soon though.
