Is chilblains caused due to a deficiency?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been suffering from chilblains for the last ten years. My current age is 21 years. So suggest a medicine for the deficiency which causes it in winter. The fingers of the foot and hands are swollen in winter and cause an itchy experience. So please help me.
Hi,
I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.
I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.
Chilblains are due to vasoconstriction of vessels due to cold weather. It is not due to any deficiency. So, keep yourself warm during the winter. I suggest you apply a topical Nitroglycerin gel if you develop chilblains.
Thank you for consulting me.
