hi.
noted history of frostbite. it is secondary to exposure to a very cold weather not tolerated by your body, causing vasoconstriction of your blood vessels, decreasing blood flow to a particular area, such as your fingers when exposed to the cold. wearing of protective clothes/gear will help a lot.
good day!!
