Chilblains is Bothering Me

I was diagnosed with Chilblains earlier this year. I have had it in varying degrees of severity for at least 8 years. It typically affect my toes from the end of October to the end of April every year.

This year seems to be a particularly bad year for me. My toes are super tender and look actually bruised. Unfortunately, ballet is not something that exactly helps them feel better. I did get bigger ballet slippers and tights and that has helped immensely. Wearing the right sized shoes and proper socks are really important with this disease.

It is interesting that Chilblains and Perioral Dermatitis are both inflammatory issues. Hmmm
