    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 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.
