Patient's question:
Hello doctor, this year my hands and ears haven't been taken care of well, and I've gotten frostbite. My hands are swollen like pig trotters. On my ears, as soon as they get warm, they become very itchy. Doctor, frostbite on my hands and ears is itchy! What kind of medicine should I apply? How can I prevent this disease so that my hands and ears don't get frostbite next winter?Doctor's answer:
Hands and ears can develop frostbite, and some frostbite creams can be used for treatment. At night, you can also apply warm compresses and then use frostbite cream. Especially during the transition from autumn to winter, it's essential to pay close attention to protecting your hands and ears from the cold. Avoid getting chilled, as frostbite is prone to recurrence and can become habitual. Maintain good hygiene for your hands regularly. If the condition is severe, you should go to the hospital and follow the doctor's guidance to use medications for treatment.
