How can you tell if your fingers or toes have frostbite?

Frostbite happens when your skin and the tissues underneath freeze because of extreme cold. Signs of Frostbite:

1. Feeling Cold and Numb: Your fingers or toes might feel very cold and numb.
2. Color Change: The skin can turn white, grayish-yellow, or even blue.
3. Waxy or Hard Skin: The affected area may feel hard or look waxy.

What to Do:

• If you think you have frostbite, it's important to warm the affected area slowly. You can do this by placing your hands or feet in warm (not hot) water.
• Avoid rubbing or massaging the frostbitten area, as this can cause more damage.
• If you see blisters or if the skin turns black, it's important to get medical help right away.

These steps can help prevent further damage and promote healing. Remember, if you suspect severe frostbite, seeking medical attention is crucial.
