Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frostnip is a mild form of frostbite that does not cause permanent damage and typically does not lead to gangrene. Gangrene is associated with more severe frostbite, where there is actual tissue death. Frostnip affects the skin's surface, making it cold and numb, but it does not lead to the severe consequences such as peeling, blisters, or gangrene seen in deeper frostbite.
