A member asked:
I put an ice pack directly on my cheek for 8 minutes last night. now the spot is bright red (freezer burn?). should i go to the doctor?

You could: Put ice on swollen area for eight minutes usually may reduce swelling and cause redness but if you have redness and feel pain you may want your doctor to take a look.
