Compare and contrast superficial frostbite with deep frostbite
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: In superficial frostbite, signs and symptoms may include burning, numbness, tingling, itching, or cold sensations in the affected areas. The regions appear white and frozen, but if pressed on, they retain some resilience. In deep frostbite, there is an initial decrease in sensation that is eventually completely lost. Swelling and blood-filled blisters are noted over white or yellowish skin that looks waxy and turns a purplish blue as it rewarms. The area is hard, has no resilience when pressed on, and may even appear blackened and dead. Freezing causes formation of ice crystals within cells, rupturing and destroying the cells.
