Hey yall,
Bridge of my nose got "bit" the other day running a dog team. Had a face mask cinched up so closely that it was touching my eyelashes, still got bit.
Was only supposed to be -45 below, but desended into a bowl surrounded by 1000ft hills, where hard cold just settled, so was way colder. I hate those fkn cold holes.
Would something like burn ointment be proper?
Any good ski goggles out there that wont fog up, so I can protect my face till this heals up?

Dang Mainer, you're hard on things. My wife swears by Royal Jelly. She put's it on everything. One fella I know did the same thing to his nose while working the Iron Dog years ago. His nose was raw and scabbed up for weeks.

Lots of stuff and advice on google-up.
"Keep the frostbitten area clean. Apply unscented cream or ointment, like Vaseline®. " Neosporine, etc shouold work- it's basically vaseline.
Might see a doc or clinic too, just for luck. depends on how bad it is, but generally heals on its own, in time.
I have the feeling back in my fingertips after that over-flow dunk 6 or 7 years ago. Still sensitive tho.

I always liked "NewSkin." Have not been bit in quite a while and do not miss it!

Mayo Clinic and Web MD are excellent online sources for most medical issues. Frostbite varies from mild to very severe. Treatment and prognosis vary depending on the particulars. Frostbit my toes on a SD pheasant hunt some years ago. I can hardly keep them warm now once it gets cold.

Frost bite is treated no differently than a thermal burn other than it takes longer to know what amount of tissue will be lost/scar. Keep the area dressed with some antibiotic ointment and avoid refreezing it at all costs. It will either heal, scar, or need to be skin grafted depending on the depth and extent of the frostbite. Blisters that are thin walled and filled with clear fluid are a good sign- blood filled blisters indicate deep tissue injury and will likely scar.
Good luck
If you can't be a good example, may you at least serve as a dreadful warning

Thanks tcp, if it turns green, I'll go to another country to get surgery.
I guess pretty cheap in Turkey or Mexico.
I'll ask the doc to go to the morgue and find some promiscuous pussy lips to skin-graft right between my eyes. I do not want pieces of my ass cheek, skin-grafted to my face!

Well, an asscheek face graft would allow you to tell folks to kiss "right here!" It is easier than dropping trou and bending over.

CeraVe Healing Ointment is 46.5% petrolatum/Vaseline. Plus it has "3 essential ceramides & hyaluronic acid." Get it in 12-ounce tub at Walmart for about 20 bucks. Best stuff I have used on my winter skin issues.
Using neomycin containing ointments more than 2 or 3 days may itself cause a chemical burn.

I've only been bit once. Left the camp up on Pleasant Lake in Island Falls, ME after fishing, headed on a beer run to the gas station a couple miles away. I didn't cover up enough for the -20 sled ride. When I got back my skin along my jawbone was raised up and frozen. Pretty sure I just used vaseline on it and kept it covered. Took quite a while to heal up. Turned black and blue, then the skin came off. Couldn't imagine losing digits to that schit!

As a kid, would catch some good size smelt, then send that live bait over 130 ft down near the warm spring holes. Would catch some massive burrbot (cusk). Grew up near that lake. Lotta good childhood memories there. OK, back on the trail. Staying on the high Ridgeline trails till this sht heals up. No more fkn cold holes.

I grew up down near Calais, but dated a girl for a while in high school that lived in Sherman/Stacyville. Really liked that area quite a bit!
