What can I do about numbness related to frostbite?

Hello,

For the moment, there is no possible treatment. You need to keep your toes away from the cold and keep them as warm as possible. When our skin freezes, it damages the nerves on the surface of the skin and causes this numbness. Depending on the degree of frostbite on your toes and how badly your skin has been damaged, it may take a few days to a few weeks for the numbness to go away. In severe cases of frostbite, this sensation can be permanent

We look forward to hearing from you,
