Stages of frostbite: Superficial frostbite
The second stage (after frostnip) is superficial frostbite. The damage to the tissue extends beyond the epidermis to the first half of the dermis. Instead of being numb, the skin and tissue start to feel a little warm – a warning sign of serious skin involvement. The skin turns from red to pale and greyish. After warming the skin, blisters often develop in one to two days.
