MAJOR Frostbite on my Ear?!
Question: MAJOR Frostbite on my Ear!?
Yesterday, I was at Mt Tremblant snowboarding, and i hadn't protecte my ears from the cold correctly!. I didnt feel that my ears were freezing until i went inside!. Inside, it started to kill me!. Then, my ear grew bigger and bigger!. I was worried, and went to the clinic!. There, my ear was HUGE ! just like Will Smith in Hitch!. The doctor told there wasnt much to do since it was a Major Burn from the cold!. I now have HUGE blisters on my ear and liquid has been leaking from it for the past 30 hours !

Unfortunately if you are ozzing fluid , then this is the only way the skin can heal inteslf!. You may loose part of the ear or the skin!. It is much like a fire burn, once it is destroyed it is gone!. You do need to be careful with treating the open wound though with some sort of antibacterial cream!. It is easy for this type of wound to get infected!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
just wait for it to heal i guess!. i did some research put your ear in some water it may help it heal faster im not sure here are some tips i found!.!.!.
DO NOT allow thawed tissue to freeze again!. The more often tissue freezes and thaws, the deeper the damage!. If the victim will soon be exposed to freezing temperatures again, wait to treat frostbite!.
NEVER rub or massage frostbitten tissue!. Rubbing frostbitten tissue will result in more severe damage!.
DO NOT use any heating devices, stoves, or fires to treat frostbite!. Victims cannot feel the frostbitten tissue and can be burned easily!.
In a pinch, body heat can be used to thaw frostbite!. For example, placing frostbitten fingers under the arm!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
