Are you supposed to cut yourself if you get frostbite or is that just in movies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No you should not: Cut rub shake massage or even excessively move the frost bitten part when frozen , during rewarming or even after if there are closed clean blisters . Ultimately there are many important medical decisions to be made regarding a frost bitten part so seek medical attention.
