How to Treat an Ice Burn? Ice burns are burns to the skin that are caused by extreme cold rather than heat. If you have been exposed to cold winds and high altitudes, or had direct contact with a freezing object and are experiencing symptoms, you likely have an ice burn. If you have the symptoms of a minor ice burn, such as minor skin discoloration, numbness, itchiness, tingling, or minor pain, you can treat your ice burn at home. To treat the symptoms of a severe ice burn, however, such as blistering, prolonged numbness and/or skin discoloration, or infection, you will likely require medical attention. Remove the source of cold from your skin. If you think that you have an ice burn, immediately remove the source of cold from direct contact with your skin. If you have an ice burn due to high altitude and/or exposure to cold winds, return to a lower altitude and cover your skin with extra layers as soon as you can safely do so.
