Thankyou for the Question
Brief..It can be frostbite (cold injury)
Detail..toes, fingers, hands and nose are at greatest risk ,they loose heat more rapidly since they have higher surface area to volume ratio.
affected skin area gets red,swollen, and painfull and pain can cause nausea and so on.
If it ever happens move to the warm area,place some gauze between fingers and toes to absorb moisture and prevent them from sticking togethery
Do not rub that area or apply dry heat seek medical attention promptly;
Regards,
Dr.Maheshwari
