General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

Yes, he should get that review by a surgeon preferably plastic surgeon and assess degree of frost bite and depth in skin damage. Antiseptic dressing and assessment of peripheral pulses to rule out limb ischemia or compartment syndrome may be needed. If work up and examination is unremarkable, he may be sent home on home treatment with follow up.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
