Frostbite occurs when tissue is damaged from exposure to extreme cold. That’s why it’s important to get inside immediately at the first possible warning signs.

- A frozen feeling to the skin.
- Skin and underlying tissue that feel hard, solid or frozen.
- Changes in the color of skin, including white or gray.
- A waxy texture to the skin.
