Frostbite can lead to several complications if not treated promptly and effectively:
Permanent Tissue Damage: Severe frostbite can cause lasting damage to skin, muscles, nerves, and bones. Infection: Damaged tissue is susceptible to infection, which can further complicate recovery. Amputation: In extreme cases, amputation of the affected area may be necessary. Growth Issues: In children, frostbite can affect growth plates, leading to long-term growth problems.
