When dealing with localized cold injuries, never break blisters, never rub or massage the affected area, and never allow patient to walk on an affected extremity.

Additionally, remove the patient from the cold environment, protect the cold injured extremity from further injury, administer oxygen, and remove wet and restrictive clothing.
