Chilblain remedy with belladona liniment coating film
When chilblains appear the belladona liniment with aconite and carbolic acid is advised to prevent ulceration and ease itching by stimulating circulation. If vesicating or ulcerating, omit aconite and apply the remaining liniments with collodion flexile to form a protective air excluding film. Sedative liniments quell irritation.
