Chilblains (/ËtÊÉªlbleÉªnz/) â also known as pernio, Chill Burns and perniosis â is a medical condition that occurs when a predisposed individual is exposed to cold and humidity, causing tissue damage. It is often confused with frostbite and trench foot.
Suggestions for treating chilblains at home include: 1  Resist the urge to scratch, as this will further damage the skin. 2  Use calamine lotion or witch hazel to soothe the itching. 3  Lanolin or similar, rubbed into the feet, will help retain body heat. 4  Wear woollen or cotton socks. 5  Keep your whole body warm.
