A member asked:
Left an ice pack too long on my skin, now skin is ice burned. skin went from cold/stiff, to red/slightly swollen skin. how do i remedy?

Urgent care or ER: If the area was white, cold and stiff or hard and if it then becomes red and swollen as it warms, you need to seek professional medical assistance. Usually the area will form blisters and permanent "bruising" or skin discoloration, which indicates long-term damage and possible destruction of blood vessels. Get it seen asap. Good luck!
