What is the outlook for ice burns?
How quickly you recover from ice burn depends on its severity, it could take a few days or weeks for it to completely heal. And you might have a scar afterward. In rare cases, your doctor might need to surgically amputate damaged tissues. But in most cases, you can expect a full recovery.
To help the healing process, avoid contact of the affected area with ice or extremely cold temperature, do not cover the area, and keep it away from the sun or extreme heat.
