Some old wives tale says to rub them with a raw onion, I prefer the slippers.

I second earthwalker's opinion. I don't know if Lanocain is available where you are but it's a toptical over the counter cream that's great for stopping the itch. You are in my prayers for a speedy recovery and end to exposed skin in the cold.

The chilblains are actually on my fingers... we moved in a hurry after the feb earthquake wrecked our house and I can't find a lot of things, including my gloves. I'm not too keen to go shopping in a mall after our 6.3 mag aftershock on Monday, but think I have to.
Wish me luck :)

Hope the earth stands still for a while for you. We had a little one second shaker here last year and it made me think.....what a scarey experience.

I've been putting some hand salve on them today which has comfy root, Rosemary oil and eucalyptus oil in it and it is helping with the itching and pain.
And mzmama I would love to move LOL...but can't afford to with a wrecked house we can't sell. Hopefully we will get a good insurance payout once things are sorted.
I always wear good wool socks and sheepskin slippers so never get them on my feet, and usually wear possum wool gloves, but alas have lost them :( so am going out shopping soon.
Thank you everyone for your ideas and kind thoughts. Happy quilting everyone
