Frostbite on the ear after snowboarding, and now?

Yesterday I froze my earlobe off while snowboarding, well not completely, but there is a brown spot. What’s the best thing to do now? Does my ear freeze off or does nothing else happen?

Today, even in the case of a 3rd degree, one does not amputate immediately. Because it can go for several weeks until you really see how much tissue is really dead.

It is important that you go to the doctor as quickly as possible and that you have a treatment. Unfortunately, in the last 20 years, the practice of frostbite has hardly changed, although effective drugs have been on the market for a few years.

Toes or fingers can be successfully treated with the fibrinolytic tPA – provided they have passed less than 24 hours and angiography proves a thrombotic closure in the supplying artery. In a study in the Archives of Surgery, the amputation rate was significantly reduced.

Up to now, six patients were treated, which were taken up within 24 hours after the frost. Only six of 59 fingers or toes (10 percent) had to amputate the surgeons later. In the 25 patients who did not receive tPA, 97 of 234 toes or fingers (40 percent) had to be amputated. The treatment thus reduced the amputation rate by three quarters.

More: Proximal amputations were never necessary after tPA therapy compared to 14 amputations in the control group, including 5 high amputations below the knee. As in the case of fibrinolysis of stroke and heart attack, the therapy of the intensities is based on the fact that the therapy takes place as quickly as possible. However, it remains a little more time than with the two cardiovascular thrombosis events.

in any case do not heat with hot water.
slightly warm up when a bit warmer, then try to knead the surrounding region. bleeding easily promote. less is more. stepewsie progress. and then do not let cool again.

You’re happening to Nix! Go to the doctor and say “I don’t want to amputate!” then it’s eventually gone with the right means!

In case of complaints medical treatment.

Otherwise, the body will restore blood circulation alone.

Effectively, warm air would come to the ear.

I’ve even heard of people who went to the sauna in case of any kind of frostbite.

Could also help in your case of frozen earlobe

You will probably not receive a binding answer to this question for legal reasons. I join my previous speaker and recommend a visit to the doctor. http://www.megadasher.com

Since bloedchen was active here 15 years ago, answers are unlikely. Nevertheless, I’d be interested in what’s with the ear.

Has long been what happened? Now to the doctor? Then the ear was probably still to be saved.

The oldest question I’ve ever read here is also a record….
