Treatment for frostbite?
If possible move the victim to a warm place.
The victim should avoid walking if they have frostbitten feet or toes.
Remove any wet clothing or constricting jewelry.
Wrap the affected area with sterile dressing, separating affected fingers and toes and get the victim to medical assistance immediately.
If you can not get immediate medical attention, then the affected area should be immersed in warm (not hot) water. The water temperature should not be more than 104 degrees or should be comfortable to the touch.
If the affected area is ears, nose or cheeks, use warm cloths and apply for 20 to 30 minutes keeping the cloths warm.
If warm water is not available, the affected area can be warmed using body heat. Frostbitten fingers can be heated by placing in the armpit.
During the warming process, severe swelling, burning pain and skin color changes may occur. When the skin is soft and sensation returns, the warming process is completed.
The frostbitten area should not be rubbed using snow or massage. This can cause further damage.
Do not use direct heat from a stove, heating pad, heat lamp, fireplace or other similar heat source. This may increase the chances of burning the victims affected area.
Blisters should not be disturbed.
The victim should not smoke or drink Alcoholic Beverages. This could interfere with blood circulation.
The frostbitten area should not be thawed out if it can not be kept thawed out. Damage could be worse if the tissue re-freezes
