What to do if your hands are frozen and cracked

In winter, the temperature is generally low in most parts of the country, so friends living in the northern regions must pay attention to moisturizing their bodies. If you do not pay attention to moisturizing your skin, you are prone to frostbite, and your hands are the most serious area for frostbite. Because the skin on the hands is not like the skin on other parts of the body and is covered by clothes for a long time. When your hands are frozen and cracked, they will feel painful and itchy. What are the solutions?

01 Soak your hands in warm water. You can add an appropriate amount of vinegar to the water. The temperature should be between 20 and 25 degrees, not too hot or too cold. If it is too hot, it will accelerate blood circulation and make your hands swollen. If it is too cold, it will only make the cracks worse. So be sure to control the temperature.

02 After washing your hands, remember to apply hand cream to protect your hands, or apply ointment to treat chapped hands. Yunnan Baiyao is quite effective, you can try it. You can also use erythromycin ointment.

03 There are folk remedies that bananas can cure chapped hands. You can try applying banana paste to the affected area and observe the effect. Note that it is best to use relatively ripe bananas. You can also apply a small piece of roasted lard in a pan to the crack, and it will not easily recur after healing.

04 Boil the loofah on low heat for 30 minutes until the temperature reaches 20 to 25 degrees, then soak your hands in it. It can effectively treat chapped hands and feet. You can also use Fengyoujing to treat frostbite. Apply a small amount of Fengyoujing to the affected area and rub it gently with your hands until the area becomes warm. Do this three times a day for three weeks.
