Do I have frostbite?

Asked by Patlutz (61points) February 6th, 2008

Well, I was outside in a blizzard for an hour and a half, of course I was wearing boots, a heavy jacket, and a hat. However, when I got home, I noticed that my feet and my hands were very red, and as I warmed up my right pinky began feeling very stiff, sort of numb, and continues to remain red. Do I have frostbite? If so, is it serious or is it just a mild case? What should I do?
