10 Frostbite Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Swelling
Another common symptom of frostbite is swelling of the affected area. If swelling occurs in the nose, ears, fingers, or toes, or in any other body part due to prolonged exposure to extremely cold temperatures, then this is a sign of damage to the skin tissue.
The tissue beneath the skin surface is yet intact, but proper treatment and rewarming is necessary in order to prevent further damage.
