Specializes in Urgent Care

Frostbite : This thermal injury sounds like frostbite to me. I think you need an urgent evaluation at a burn center. This sounds like third or possibly even fourth degree frostbite. You also need to update your tetanus vaccination and possibly be placed in a hot whirlpool, get debridement of dead tissue and education on dressing changes and follow up with a burn surgeon.
