Short version: not really.

Chilblain are painful reactions to changes in skin temperature in those with risk factors that affect the vascular reactivity in the skin.

There is not a lot of good research on chilblains, which leads to a lot of treatments and interventions based on anecdotes. You see a lot of advice being asked in forums from those who are exasperated with them.
