Warm the area gently and seek medical attention if it is severe. Frostbite by itself is not life-threatening, but in some cases can lead to tissue death and potentially gangrene (which IS life-threatening).

Also, some of the same conditions that cause frostbite can lead to hypothermia, a serious condition where the body's core temperature drops. In severe casis, hypothermia can result in organ failure and even death.
