What about hand frostbite?

Hand chilblain is a common cold weather disease, which mainly occurs in the exposed parts of hand skin. In severe cases, it may lead to skin rupture, infection and other problems. If you have chilblain, here are some recommended treatments:

Keep warm: Keep your hands warm and avoid being exposed to cold environment for a long time.

Wash your hands with warm water: Wash your hands with warm water (about 37℃) to eliminate skin freezing and relieve pain.

Medication: Use anti-inflammatory ointment, such as ibuprofen ointment, to relieve pain and diminish inflammation.

Bandage: gently wrap the affected skin to protect it from external damage.

Avoid strenuous exercise: Avoid strenuous hand movements to reduce pain and injury.

If your frostbite is serious, or the pain continues to get worse, please see a doctor as soon as possible. Early treatment can effectively avoid subsequent complications and deterioration.
