Chilblains, or perniosis, show up as tiny itchy swollen bumps on hands or feet when it’s cold. Cold temps make small blood vessels near the skin shrink leading to sore and puffy skin. CCS Swedish Foot Cream has a special mix to ease your feet’s chilblain pain.
This cream uses natural stuff like urea lactic acid, and glycerin to soften and shield your skin. Urea helps break up thick dead skin cells that can trap moisture and cause chilblains. It also gives the cream germ-fighting and anti-fungal powers, which matter a lot to stop chilblains from coming back.
This formula also contains lactic acid, which plays a role in getting rid of dead skin cells that might block pores and lead to skin irritation. The glycerin in the mix works to shield the skin from drying out and helps it stay hydrated for extended periods.
Prevention and Treatment Tips
You’ll notice chilblains often strike when you least expect them. Here’s a smart trick: massage CCS Swedish Foot Cream into your feet before heading out into chilly weather. Think of it as putting on invisible socks that shield your skin from winter’s bite. The cream’s unique formula creates a protective barrier that’ll keep your feet cozy even when temperatures plummet.
For best results, warm your feet gradually after being in the cold. Don’t blast them with direct heat – that’s like throwing ice cubes into boiling water! Instead, let them warm up naturally while the cream works its magic.
CCS Swedish Foot Cream contains essential oils like tea tree and camphor. These oils soothe the skin and lessen inflammation from chilblains. The cream’s menthol creates a cooling effect easing the itch and discomfort of a chilblain flare-up. Many Zoom Health customers use CCS cream with our popular Snowfire ointment stick for the best relief.
CCS Swedish Foot Cream works well to ease chilblain discomfort. It protects and feeds the skin, while its ingredients reduce cold-induced inflammation. Always follow the label instructions and consult your doctor if you have questions.
