Please don't laugh at me..

I bought some little moons and it said they needed 5 mins defrosting. I was watching a film and completely forgot I had them out resting on my lef for about 5 minutes and now I have a itchy sore frostbite.

What should I do? I put savlon on it and covering it up.

Oh god you are one of those people that over react to everything.

Surprised you came out of your house to buy them , what with the plague still about .

Yabvu to have two threads running about this!

PS: the Aldi version of Little Moons are much cheaper and nicer.

You should treat an ice burn the opposite way to how you treat a heat burn, OP, and run some warm water over the area. If the skin turns/remains white, dark, or gray, if your skin is numb, if it feels cold or hard even after warming, if it blisters, or if you have any other problems with it (e.g., signs of infection) then you need to see a doctor.

Also I live on my own (with children) and dont have any friends so I often jump straight to the Internet for advice

I know what it sounds like but it really is sore and it's throbbing like mad grin
It went all funny and white. It's calmed down a bit now but it is a bit hot and raised.

Should of said ice burn rather than frostbite

@CorianderBee a few days?? I reckon her leg was completely back to normal within half an hour.

Chattychattylanglang · 08/06/2021 23:44

Drama queen much?

Ijustknowitstimetogo · 08/06/2021 23:43

You’ve got mild ice burns. Google what to look for and how to look after it. Looks v mild and not serious.

SmidgenofaPigeon · 08/06/2021 23:43

Yes, your leg is going to fall off.

Do you have health anxiety or are you just melodramatic?

melj1213 · 08/06/2021 23:43

Are you always such a drama queen?

CorianderBee · 08/06/2021 23:40

And it'll be fine OP it's a slight ice burn and should be fine in a few days

I did wonder what the AIBU was.

legotruck · 08/06/2021 23:36

I thought I had replied to this and it wasn't showing. Turns out you are so concerned by your frostbite you have posted it in general health as well.

Little Moons are doughy ice cream things. V expensive and not worth it.

You'll be fine OP.

jewel1968 · 08/06/2021 23:34

I did give myself second degree burn with an icepack. I had to have antibiotics and had to dress it every day. I would dress it in case you get a blister.

AlmostSummer21 · 08/06/2021 23:33

More importantly -what flavour, where did you get them,what did you think of them?

(Your leg will be just fine!)
