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.
