Frostbite: Take the warnings seriously!
So you want to know what frostbite looks like? Kinda like this:
Only the last joint of the middle finger suffered serious damage. The ring and index finger are still numb and tingly at the same time (!) three days after exposure.
Blistered Finger
Blistered Finger
Bandaged Finger
The loose bandage (after applying some moisturizing cream) is to protect the blisters. Do NOT want them to burst!
I've a follow-up appointment with my doctor this afternoon.

I hope everything goes well when you see the doc.
Ow! I've had minor frostbite, but nothing close to that. I think its time for some new gloves!
On the bright side, you can give everyone the finger and say ,"Sorry, can't help myself".
Look on the bright side, now you can give everyone the finger and say, "Sorry, I can't help it".
TennRebel, it's even wrapped in a nice white bandage so it's easier to see!
That looks very painful. I do hope you recover with no ill effect. Thank for the heads up, a lot of folks don't think about how quickly it can happen.
