Oh my goodness, I haven't heard of chilblains since I was a child.  Isn't urine supposed to stop the itching?

Mustard foot bath.15 ml fresh ground mustard seed to 4 pints of water.  When feet are dry use a 100% pure lavender oil.  You can put the lavender oil on neat.
You only need a drop or 2.
There's  suppose to be something in the urine that helps.  Can't quiet bring myself to try it.

You can get cream specific for chilblains - smells like deep heat & has camphor & all sorts of "old fashioned" stuff in it. Ask at your pharmacy.. I'm never without it - d**n high heels for work bring em on for me in the winter.
