Frostbite occurs when skin and underlying tissues freeze due to prolonged exposure to extreme cold. Early signs may include numbness, tingling, pale or hardened skin, and loss of sensation.
Protecting exposed skin with warm clothing, gloves, and scarves, and limiting time outdoors in freezing temperatures can help reduce the risk of frostbite.
