A member asked:

Does the person who has chilblains might have thin veins problems or just bad blood circulation ?

Dr. Pamela Hoffman answered

Specializes in Integrative Medicine

No: I have seen a great deal of Chilblains and frost bite. It is from cold exposure. The little or short exposures are the worst, ie, the house to the cold car or into a hot store and back to a cold car. You need to dress warmer, lots of layers, good warm boots, hat, long underwear, etc. Take some fish oil and warm up slowly.
