GlossaryFrostbite

medical condition where skin and tissues freeze from extreme cold

Frostbite is a medical condition where skin and underlying tissues freeze due to prolonged exposure to extremely cold temperatures. It typically affects extremities like fingers, toes, nose, and ears, leading to symptoms such as numbness, discoloration, and in severe cases, tissue death. Immediate treatment involves gradual rewarming and medical care to prevent complications like infection or permanent damage.
