Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why, my skin has been dry, itchy, and has white spots and red dots. It's very uncomfortable. What are the methods to treat frostbite?Doctor's answer:
There is no specific treatment for chilblains, and prevention based on keeping warm is the foundation. It manifests as redness and swelling in the burned area, with severe cases potentially leading to ulcers and erosion. It commonly occurs in the distal parts of the limbs where blood circulation is relatively poor. In treatment, topical Longzhu ointment or Mupirocin ointment can be used to prevent infection. If there is no ulceration, Heparin sodium ointment can be applied, and oral medications to stabilize microcirculation can also be taken.
