What should I do if my hands are frozen and itchy

Frozen hands are a common phenomenon in winter. In the early stages of hand frostbite, it will be very itchy. If not treated properly, it will eventually rot.

1. Note on hand washing: If you usually wash your hands with cold water (or it is inconvenient to wash with hot water), then keep doing it and don’t use hot water suddenly, as this will easily cause your hands to get frozen. In winter, you should wash your hands with hot water. . .

2. Hot compress: Place hot water bottles, hot towels, etc. on the itchy areas at least twice a day (morning and evening). Do this for a few days and the effect will be gone.

3. Antifreeze treatment: After washing your hands, apply some antifreeze cream or something like that on your hands.

4. Keep warm daily: If your hands are already frozen, you should protect them well to prevent them from getting worse. In winter, nice gloves and hand warmers are a good choice for keeping warm.

5. Treatment for worsening: If there are signs of worsening, go to the infirmary and apply some ointment in case the infection has become extremely worse.

Precautions

1. Frozen hands will really itch, but don’t keep scratching them. It will scratch and not be conducive to the recovery of frozen areas. If you can't stand it, you can apply a proper amount of wind oil or safflower oil to temporarily relieve the itching. . .
