Working outdoors for a long time in winter, my hands are frostbitten, often painful and itchy. What should I do?

The hand grows chilblain, which often hurts and itches. What should I do?

It is cold in winter, so you need to keep warm, especially your hands and feet, otherwise your hands and feet will be easily frostbitten. Once you have frostbite, you will feel very uncomfortable and have a heart to dig meat. And once you have frostbite, it's like being engraved with a mark, and it's easy to grow again next winter. In this case, I suggest you see a doctor in time.

If it's not serious and inconvenient to see a doctor, you can try the following five methods, which can effectively relieve the symptoms of chilblain and make it less uncomfortable ~ ~

1, banana applied to the affected area.

Main practice: Banana is a very nutritious fruit, which can not only be eaten, but also be used to relieve frostbite. When you have frostbite, you can use banana meat or mud to smear the frostbite position, which can alleviate the symptoms of frostbite.

Bananas are common fruits. I usually buy it in winter because I won't feel cold. You can slice your hands and feet with frostbite when eating, especially in the wild. It can be applied before going out and after coming back, and the effect is very obvious. Old people in the village used to do this when they were in the countryside, because bananas are common (cheap) and easy to get in the countryside.

2, orange peel soaking method

Main practice: If you have frostbite on your hands and feet, you can prepare some fresh orange peels, boil them in clear water, and soak your hands and feet when the temperature is right, which can alleviate the symptoms of frostbite.

Winter is the season when oranges such as Sugar Orange, Wogan Orange, Sweet Orange and Imperial Orange are ripe for picking and eating, so orange peel is also an easy material to buy or pick. It can also be placed in the living room for a long time in winter. After eating oranges, it is very good to soak the orange peel in boiling water.

3, homemade lard honey ointment

Main methods: After frostbite, you can prepare some lard and honey, and then mix them together to make lard and honey ointment, which can be used externally on the affected area to moisten and relieve frostbite symptoms.

This method is easy to use. I tested it myself, and it is as good as other emollients. Don't think lard is greasy. After the honey is mixed, it will be very skin-friendly in both color and place, especially suitable for female friends who go out to work.

Step 4 spread egg butter

The main method: you can cook the eggs, mash the yolk, then boil the oil with low fire, and add a small amount of borneol to the affected area once a day to relieve frostbite.

Eggs are always nutritious ingredients at home. As far as I know, it is sold, so if you are in a foreign country, you can take out the finished product and smear it soon, which is still very useful. Of course, if you are at home, I suggest making it with fresh egg yolk. It works better this way.

Step 5 spread hawthorn meat

The main method: buy a proper amount of hawthorn, boil it with water, take it out, then slowly mash it and apply it to the frostbitten part, which can obviously alleviate the symptoms of frostbite.

This needs to be remembered. It needs fresh hawthorn, not dried hawthorn. Hawthorn is better boiled, and it is not soft and cannot be mashed. This is also one of the common fruits in winter. It can be eaten or used externally. So if you are a friend who needs to work in the field with chilblain, you can keep some hawthorn at home at any time in winter, and get some to apply your hands and feet when eating to control chilblain.

Frostbite is easy to grow in winter, so everyone should pay attention to keep warm in winter, wear gloves and shoes with good warmth when going out. Don't bake your hands with fire immediately after going out, so as not to aggravate the symptoms of frostbite. After frostbite, you can try the above tips, which can moisturize and effectively relieve frostbite symptoms.
