How to prevent frostbite in winter?

Chilblains is a common disease in winter, characterized by congestion, edema, erythema on exposed parts, and skin itching when exposed to high temperatures. In severe cases, skin erosion and ulcers may occur in the affected areas. The disease has a long course and relapses in winter, making it difficult to cure. For some young ladies, it not only affects the appearance of their hands, but also brings great inconvenience to their lives. In terms of treatment, although there are many methods, they are rarely cured, so it is often troublesome.

In traditional Chinese medicine, most patients with chilblains have a constitution of Yang deficiency, so the Qi and blood flow is not smooth and the veins are stagnant. Over time, the skin will lose nutrients, causing coldness and coldness to remain in the veins for a long time. Therefore, frost

Sores can reoccur. The treatment of chilblains in summer is a major feature of traditional Chinese medicine. "Suwen·Four Qi Regulates the Spirit" once proposed the treatment rule of "nourishing yang in spring and summer". According to the theory of the four seasons of yin and yang in traditional Chinese medicine, the human body's yang energy grows and becomes stronger in spring and summer, and converges and weakens in autumn and winter. This is the result of the correspondence between man and nature. Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity when the temperature is high in summer and the body's yang energy is abundant, we can adjust the body's yin and yang balance and recover from some chronic illnesses such as chilblains.

People with yang deficiency may be affected by the strong yang energy in nature in summer, causing the human body's yang energy to be at the peak of rhythmic changes in summer, and the body's cold energy condenses, so it may be easy to remove and resolve. In addition, the skin in summer Hair

pores are easy to expand. If you take advantage of the situation and treat it with drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, you can often get twice the result with half the effort. On the contrary, in winter, the human body is at the low point of the annual rhythm change of Yang Qi. Even if it is supplemented, the therapeutic effect will not be satisfactory. Dr. Li Bin said that it can be seen that the basic idea of ??treating winter diseases in summer is: on the one hand, with the help of the natural trend of yang rising in summer, the yang qi in the body will rise and be strong, and the condensation of cold qi will be easy. In order to better achieve the therapeutic purpose of supporting yang and dispelling cold, it is necessary to cooperate with the drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis to take advantage of the situation. On the other hand, it can keep the warm and yang energy in the body. If the yang energy is sufficient, it will not be easily injured by the severe cold in winter.

In severe cases, blisters may appear, containing light yellow or white serous fluid. After rupture, they may form erosions or ulcers, causing conscious pain.

Chilblains are mainly caused by cold, damp weather in winter or tight shoes and socks that affect local blood circulation. Cold causes cutaneous vasoconstriction, local ischemia, and metabolic abnormalities. Over time, vascular paralysis dilates and congestion.

Plasma leakage causes local edema, blister formation, and even tissue necrosis. In addition, poor blood circulation in the extremities, excessive sweating of the hands and feet, lack of exercise, malnutrition, anemia, and autonomic nerve dysfunction are also causes of chilblains. Certain chronic diseases such as anemia, lupus erythematosus, scleroderma and rheumatoid arthritis can also cause chilblains.

Prevention and treatment of chilblains

Every winter or early spring , children are prone to frostbite, and sometimes adults are also unavoidable. Chilblains tend to occur at the ends of the limbs, such as hands, heels, cheeks, auricles, etc.

In a few days when the temperature suddenly drops, children are often taken out without taking measures to keep warm. The skin becomes pale in the early stages of being frozen, and later purple-red lumps of varying sizes appear, with itching and swelling. Scratching the itch can easily damage the epidermis. After local skin is exposed to cold, blood vessels contract, poor circulation, blood stasis, and tissue hypoxia increase the permeability of capillaries, increase exudation, and cause local edema and blisters.

In the later stages of chilblains, there are often blisters, ulcers, erosion, and scabs. The scabs will not fall off until the weather warms up. In the second winter, frostbite often recurs in the area where the frostbite originally occurred. Chilblain wounds are prone to secondary bacterial infection. Do not touch water after frostbite has broken out. For example, if you have frostbite on the back of your hands or heels, you cannot wash your hands or feet frequently after the frostbite has broken out. This is bad for your health. The main measures to prevent chilblains are to keep local warmth

especially when the indoor temperature is below 0℃. Wear gloves, ear-protecting hats, cotton pads, and masks when going out. Massage local skin (where chilblains are common) every day to promote smooth blood circulation

. Shoes should not be too tight to avoid affecting blood circulation in the feet and heels. Strengthen physical exercise and wash your face and feet with cold water starting in summer. Gradually improve the ability of peripheral blood vessels to adapt to cold stimulation

. For chilblains that are not broken along the edges, you can wash them with warm water and then apply chilblain cream externally.

Suitable

for people with unbroken frostbite.

☆30 grams of raw Diyu, 15 grams of Diben, 10 grams each of Daphne and Licorice, add water to decoct, soak the affected area while it is hot, and apply jade-red ointment gauze to the affected area after washing, 2 times a day Second-rate. Suitable for those with ruptured frostbite.

How to prevent and treat chilblains

Chilblains occur in the severe cold season, usually when the temperature is below 5°C. They heal on their own in spring when the climate gets warmer, but they are easy to recur after winter. Once many people suffer from chilblains, they relapse every winter. Frostbite

Frost is most common in young children and primary school students. The hands, feet, and auricles are most likely to occur. Symptoms include localized skin cooling and dark purple-red or purple-blue patches that appear when pressed softly. In severe cases, blisters may appear and rupture to form erosions or ulcers. Feeling itchy, burning and painful after being exposed to heat. Those who delay healing have induration. Severe frostbite can leave scars and become allergic to cold.

The mechanism of chilblain is not very clear. It may be related to the sensitivity of skin blood vessels to cold, or it may be related to autonomic nerve dysfunction and genetic factors. People who are often exposed to cold water are more susceptible to this disease. People who live in certain coastal or cold and humid environments in the north and south of my country for a long time are susceptible to this disease.

Moisture can accelerate the heat dissipation on the body surface, so areas with high humidity in winter have a higher incidence of chilblains. In addition, autonomic nerve dysfunction, poor blood circulation in the extremities, excessive sweating of the hands and feet, lack of exercise, malnutrition, anemia and some chronic diseases are often the causes of chilblains.

To prevent chilblains, you should pay attention to keeping warm and dry. Shoes and socks should not be too tight. The frozen parts should not be immediately baked or soaked in hot water. Apply Vaseline or other oils to areas prone to freezing to protect the skin

. Unruptured chilblains can be rubbed locally with drugs that promote blood circulation, such as 10% camphor liquor or chili pepper tincture. Folks use hot peppers boiled in water to scald and wash the local area, which has a certain effect. When the ulcer has become an ulcer, apply 5% boric acid ointment, erythromycin ointment or lard honey ointment (30% lard and 70% honey) and bandage it. At the same time, peripheral vasodilators such as niacin are taken orally. The traditional Chinese medicine treatment is to warm the meridians, dredge collaterals, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis

. The prescription is Danggui Sini Decoction or Yanghe Decoction.

The main measures to prevent the recurrence of chilblains are:

(1) Make the room cold-proof, warm and moisture-proof. It is best to keep the indoor temperature above 15°C and the relative humidity around 50%. .
