A member asked:
I was running through 5 feet of snow 4 daya ago for about 15 minutes. the tips of my toes are still tingling, do i have frostbite and what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's possible.: At four days, more severe forms of frostbite are usually painful and may have blistering of the skin. As long as the toes are pink and don't have blisters you should recover; however, get checked by your primary doctor to be sure that this isn't the first signs of something else going on.
