Frostbite
effect of low temperature on skin and other tissues
Frostbite is the localized medical condition where freezing cold temperatures damage skin and other tissue. It is most likely to happen in body parts farthest from the heart and in body parts with large exposed areas with many blood circulations. It most often occurs in toes.[1] It may be seen along with Hypothermia.
