frostbite

by **hawaiiSUCKSexceptsurf** » Sat Dec 27, 2008 4:13 am

i have a yellow patch on my nose that was white, in days before it went back to normal with just a tint of yellow, but now there are black/grey spots forming. i know i have to find something to cover up, i have a gaiter but it constricts my breathing. im wondering how serious the spots are and if i shoud see a doctor or do anything to treat it

HI Sux,
I've had frost bite a couple of times. More than color change, I remember the stinging pain and the complete lack of feeling in the toes that were affected. Most of the time, I wasn't in a situation where I could look at the color. Did you have the stinging pain?

I found some color descriptions that may help (below). If the tissue is damaged, then you really shouldn't expose it more. I'm concerned about the spots you say are forming. They are not mentioned, however, in the notes below.

Source 1:
Skin also changes color when exposed to extreme cold. It blanches, then may appear red, and finally white-purple if allowed to freeze

Source 2:
Second degree, superficial frostbite: The skin will be white or blue and will feel hard and frozen.

Third degree, deep frostbite: The skin is white, blotchy and/or blue. The tissue underneath is hard and cold to the touch

thanks billie. i can feel it in my fingers and toes, but it never got serious, just painful. in my noe though i never feel anything, it just freezes and turns white. what do you guys ue to keep your faces covered? i dont like gaiters because they constrict breathing and get all wet and gross, the masks look silly, and i have a bandana lined with fleece but it doesnt seem to keep me warm enough.
