Signs of Frostbite You Should Never Ignore (and How to Warm Up Properly)

Red or sore skin

Common areas where frostbite occurs are the fingers, toes, cheeks, nose, ears, and chin. If any of these turn red, that’s a sign of frostnip, an early warning sign of frostbite. Frostnip doesn’t permanently damage the skin, but it’s a signal to seek warm shelter quickly. Another frostnip symptom might include the skin feeling very cold to the touch.
