Well I have chillblains on my toes. Actually I had it last year but when the dermatologist said that was the problem, I scoffed. I hadn't been exposed to extreme cold and was never anywhere close to getting frostbite. After this visit, the doctor gave me a post visit report with some info, and it said some people have gotten it after having Covid (which I believe I had in early March 2020, before there were tests available).
Luckily it's nowhere near as bad this time. Last winter it was several toes on each foot and really painful. Now only the top of the second toe on my right foot, and a spot on my left big toe, and they are improving. And I discovered that soaking in a warm solution of epsom salts and baking soda really helps. Hot water might be just as good, but the additives are supposed to be helpful against athlete's foot, which I sometimes suffer from in the winter. I haven't yet this year, so it might be working.
