Summary


Q: When should I be concerned about frostbite and what are the symptoms besides being cold?

A: Frostbite occurs when the skin and the underlying tissues freeze. Frostbite can be mild (causing only red, irritated skin with no permanent damage) or severe frostbite, which is serious and can cause permanent damage to the skin, tissue, muscle and bone. Frostbite also can cause infection and permanent nerve damage leading to amputation.
