frostbite definition and meaning

What is "frostbite"?

Frostbite is a cold-weather injury that occurs when skin and underlying tissues freeze due to exposure to extreme cold temperatures. It commonly affects areas of the body that are exposed, such as the fingers, toes, nose, ears, and cheeks. Symptoms of frostbite include numbness, tingling, pain, and skin discoloration, typically white or grayish-yellow. In severe cases, the skin may become hard and waxy. Frostbite can lead to permanent damage and tissue loss if not treated quickly. Treatment involves rewarming the affected area slowly and gently, avoiding rubbing or massaging, and seeking medical attention if necessary. Prevention is essential, and measures such as dressing warmly, limiting exposure to cold temperatures, and keeping skin dry can help reduce the risk of frostbite.
