Can Xiliaomao ointment treat chilblains?

Mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream, commonly known as Hiruscar, can generally be used for the treatment of chilblains. It is recommended to visit a hospital promptly for evaluation and receive symptomatic treatment under medical supervision. The detailed analysis is as follows:

Mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream has anti-inflammatory properties and helps improve blood circulation and reduce swelling. For mild chilblains—characterized by redness, swelling, and pain on the skin surface without ulceration or tissue necrosis—this cream can be used as an adjunctive treatment. It promotes local blood flow and microcirculation, thereby increasing blood supply to the affected area and alleviating tissue hypoxia caused by cold exposure. However, before application, ensure the skin is clean and dry, and apply the cream correctly according to the product instructions or physician's guidance.

In daily life, it is important to keep the affected skin clean and dry and maintain warmth to minimize cold exposure. If a patient develops severe chilblains or shows signs of infection, using mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream alone may have limited effectiveness. In such cases, topical treatments such as boric acid ointment, fusidic acid cream, or erythromycin ointment may be used as directed by a physician to control infection symptoms.
