Care is required : Not much to go on, possible 2 nd degree burn. This can happen when ice is directly on the skin and the duration was probably too long. A damp face cloth between skin and ice diminishes the chance from this developing

Damaged Ligament: Damaged ligaments of the foot are not diagnosed easily. Many times a diagnostic test after an examination is required to find which ligaments are damaged and to what extent. This will dictate the proper treatment plan. Sometimes immobilization helps and others contrast bathing. Be careful when self treating.
