Frostbite occurs when body tissue exposed to severe cold freezes. It most often affects exposed areas such as the fingers, toes, nose, and ears. In severe cases, the tissue can undergo necrosis (tissue death), which may require amputation of the affected body part. If you suspect frostbite, protect the area from refreezing and seek medical care right away.2026-06-26
