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.

Is this a joke?! Confused

Little moons? Confused

User52739 · 08/06/2021 23:24

You don’t have frostbite. You have a very mild, localised reaction to something cold. You don’t need to do anything. It will be better very shortly without any treatment.

Summersun2020 · 08/06/2021 23:25

Exactly what @User52739 said

BikeRunSki · 08/06/2021 23:25

Chilblains maybe, not frostbite.

ElizabethTudor · 08/06/2021 23:25

Have you googled actual frostbite?
If you do, you’ll realise you don’t have frostbite and you will in fact, be fine.

WidowTwonky · 08/06/2021 23:27

What are little moons?

ElizabethTudor · 08/06/2021 23:27

As in Google images. I won’t post any, because they are quite graphic. But they do not resemble your leg.

irresistibleoverwhelm · 08/06/2021 23:28

Frostbite is when you lose your toes in extreme low temperature weather conditions because they go black and drop off. You have a little cold burn to the surface skin, not frostbite.

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!)

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.

Sparklingbrook · 08/06/2021 23:34

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

You'll be fine OP.

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.

I prefer a Magnum personally.

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

melj1213 · 08/06/2021 23:43

Are you always such a drama queen?

SmidgenofaPigeon · 08/06/2021 23:43

Yes, your leg is going to fall off.

Do you have health anxiety or are you just melodramatic?

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.

Chattychattylanglang · 08/06/2021 23:44

Drama queen much?

Summersun2020 · 09/06/2021 00:01

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

Poppydex · 09/06/2021 00:01

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
