First step is to rapidly, but gently rewarm the frozen tissue with warm (not hot) water. The tissue damage is similar to that of a third degree burn and there is a risk of secondary infections. The reference makes note of supplying toxoid boosters as the tissue damage releases toxic substances that cause edema. Gently massage can help restore circulation. It is essential to get full treatment as soon as is feasible.
