lesione locale che interessa una o più parti del corpo di un organismo vivente in seguito all'azione del freddo sui tessuti
AI overview
Frostbite is an injury that occurs when skin or living tissue freezes, commonly affecting extremities like fingers, toes, and facial features, and can progress from initial numbness and pale skin to white or bluish, waxy-looking tissue. It matters because it can lead to serious complications such as hypothermia or compartment syndrome, and may cause lasting damage including swelling or blistering even after treatment.
