Chilblains and Balmosa Cream

3 replies

Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase some Balmosa Cream? I have had two very painful chilblains since January of this year and desperately want to get rid of them before the start of winter. I have tried to buy Balmosa cream, which I read on this site is fantastic, but I can't get any. Even my GP gave me a prescription for some but I was told the same thing at the chemists - that it is out of stock and cannot be ordered. I returned to the GP who gave me some steroid cream and have been applying it daily as recommended but so far (for some three weeks now) it hasn't helped at all. If Balmosa cream is available - even overseas - then I would like to try to get some but but first I wonder if anyone else has used it and, if so, are there any suggestions as to where I might get it. I have phoned all the pharmacies in my area and they all say the same thing - that its out of stock. I've also tried Sudacreme and some other cream made by Nelsons, which is a natural remedy, but neither have helped at all.

I have read on this site that some people soak their chilblains in urine! This sounds a horrible thing to have to do but I would gladly do it if it works. Is it necessary to soak on a daily basis and for how long?
Feeling quite desperate now.
Thank you.

I've tried to find Balmosa cream for the same reason very recently. I did some digging and it seems only Superdrug pharmacies stock it. I tried our only local superdrug and they didn't have any. Not been back to try again but might be a starting point for you?

Chilblains in summer? Are you sure it's that?
