    Frost Bite

    Proper medical aid should sought as soon as possible
    Aloe Vera should be applied to the affected area, which is then splinted, elevated and wrapped in a dressing
    A tetanus shot – may be penicillin – is used to prevent infection
    The patient may require ibuprofen to combat inflammation
    Drugs may be required in most cases to reduce high levels of pain that occur as sensation returns during warming
    Goosebumps, tingling sensation in the affected areas, partial or complete numbness, discolouration, when thawing, the skin becomes painful and red, in severe cases, the affected skin turns black, as the condition worsens, pain begins to fade
    Protect yourself from frostbite
    What is frostbite? – Temporary or permanent skin tissue damage caused by prolonged exposure to temperatures of 0 degree Celsius and below
    If possible, relocate to a relatively warmer environment
    Re-warm affected area by placing in warm water until the flesh softens and feeling becomes normal
    Completely cover the damaged area with a bandage-sterile if possible – and warm clothing as well
