Chilblain in fingers amd toes
My father is 61 yrs old and he is suffering from chilblain in wintersn since many years. But now this problem is increasing every year. His toes and fingers swell badly and become so red and painful that it seeems that blood will come out. Now it seems like he gets some blood clots as skin becomes black at some places.
He keeps these area covered will woolen cloths and apply moisturiser time to time, He does not even put his hands in cold water. But then also the condition is getting worse.
Is it really chilblain, if it is same problem then how it can be prevented and treated.
