I was holding icecream cake in hand for about 5 mins 2 days back. my thumb became red in the exposed area and burning but no blisters. is it normal?

"Frost nip": Sounds like you probably got a mild version of frost bite called frost nip. It does not permanently damage the skin, so your symptoms should resolve in a few days.
