Frostbite
Frostbite occurs when skin and underlying tissues freeze due to exposure to extreme cold. Symptoms of frostbite include numbness, tingling, and skin that appears hard, pale, or waxy. Early intervention is crucial to prevent permanent damage. Frostbite most commonly affects extremities like fingers, toes, ears, and the nose.
