What is?
- Call for help
- Protect the injured area from further damage. Do not try to rewarm the frostbitten skin if it might freeze again.
- Get out of the cold, remove wet clothes and wrap up in a warm blanket.
If possible, soak the skin with frostbite in a tub or sink of warm water for about 30 minutes. For frostbite on the nose or ears, cover the area with warm, wet cloths for about 30 minutes.
Another option is to warm the affected skin with body heat. For example, tuck frostbitten fingers under an armpit.
- Don't walk on frostbitten feet or toes if possible.
- Take a nonprescription pain reliever if needed.
- Drink a warm, nonalcoholic beverage.
- Remove rings or other tight items. Do this before the injured area swells with rewarming.
- Don't apply direct heat. For example, don't warm the skin with a heating pad, a heat lamp, a blow-dryer or a car heater.
- Don't rub the frostbitten skin.
