Chiblains in foot: Whenever one suspects chibiains in the foot, it should be treated ASAP in order to prevent further damage to the skin and nerve endings. Try soaking the foot in warm water with Epsom salt to see if this helps. If it does not, your Podiatrist or Primary should treat you with a prescription of nifedipine (Procardia, Adalat) to open up the spasm of the blood vessels. Massage therapy may help too.
