I put an ice pack directly on my skin and now i have three large discoloration areas on my leg. what can i do to get rid of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time: Ice applied directly to the skin can damage it. In time the skin cells should be replaced by your body and the discoloration should fade. If it does not you may need to see a dermatologist
