The only "carbon dioxide burns" I am familiar with are those from handling dry ice. As such they are equivalent to "frostbite", i.e. they are a result of freezing tissue. They should be treated like frostbite. Very mild "burns" can be treated by gently warming the affected area and then bandaging it. More severe "burns" need a doctor's attention.
Burns that require immediate attention due to their location include those on the face, hands, feet, genitalia, and major joints, as these areas are critical for function and appearance. Burns that cover a large surface area, particularly in young children or the elderly, also necessitate urgent care. Additionally, any burn that shows signs of infection or is deep (third-degree burns) should be treated promptly.
