to ask you what is wrong with DS' toes?! ( pics included )

[eliolip]

DS has just come in and said his toes are sore, they are all red and swollen. He says they don't hurt that much and they are very hot to touch.

What on Earth can it be? He's not been wearing new shoes or ill-fitting shoes. He does have really bad circulation in his fingers and toes and they've been really cold lately but not sure if this can be related.

I think they may be chilnlanes?

Chilblains?

Could be chilblanes. Are they incredibly itchy?

Agree- looks like chilblains

I'd say they are chilblains. Pharmacist would confirm and give you cream to relieve the itch. I've a friend who swears vicks on her feet helps.

Can't spell it clearly - here's a link www.nhs.uk/conditions/chilblains/

just looked it up, definitely looks like that and makes sense as his toes are always cold despite wearing slippers and heating being on.

just a trip to the pharmacist then?
