Although human skin can protect against a certain degree of cold wind, if the wind is too strong or the temperature is too low, the skin is prone to frostbite. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to skin protection in winter, and hands are the area most susceptible to frostbite. If your hands are frostbitten, you must find specific medicine for treatment, otherwise severe frostbite will develop. So what are some effective medicines for treating frostbite on the hands?

Generally, mild frostbite can be cured by itself when the weather warms up.

1: In severe winter, exposed skin should be protected, such as using masks, gloves, and windproof earmuffs when going out. Applying a small amount of frostbite cream can reduce skin heat dissipation and also has the effect of moisturizing and healing cracks. The size and tightness of shoes and socks should be appropriate, not too tight or too small.

2. Avoid keeping your limbs still for long periods of time. If you sit or stand for a long time, you should move appropriately to promote blood circulation and reduce the occurrence of frostbite.

3. For people who are prone to frostbite in winter, except those with blisters or ulcers on the skin, you can apply ginger slices or chili peppers to the parts prone to frostbite twice a day to reduce or avoid the occurrence of frostbite.
