Chilblain Help

Forget-me-Not · Chilblain Help

Hi,

My 9yo has started to suffer from chilblains on her feet. Something I suffered from horribly for years as a child. Mine eventually cleared at about 12-13 yo with the aid of or totally coincidentally at the time I started taking Vitamin E. According to the tub, she's too young to take it. I'd rather not go to the doc for something full of chemicals if there's a purer option. Does anybody know of one please?

I haven't had the misfortune to need a cure for chilblains, but I found these sites...

Not sure if any of the information is useful, but might be worth a look.

What about adding "natural" vit E to the diet, i.e. something like wheatgerm? That shouldn't do any harm, and might help.

also rubbing the feet very gently to get the circulation round helps....you can get vitamin E moisture cream thats safe for young people in the body shop....just use a lotion as appose to a butter...much more gentle and is safe

Wow thanks!!!!!

Will have a read through the sites, sort out some wheatgerm and buy a pot of Vit E cream for her and one for me - fab stuff!!! Never thought of that.
