How does frostbite form?

We need to pay attention to the problem of frostbite, especially when the weather is cold. It is easy to be affected by frostbite. There is also a certain relationship between frostbite and age. In addition, not paying attention to activities or keeping the body warm in daily life may induce frostbite.

1. The cold causes poor local blood circulation, which can easily induce frostbite.

2. Frostbite is related to age. Generally, children and teenagers are more prone to frostbite, followed by young and middle-aged people, while the elderly are less likely to get frostbite. When children and teenagers are exposed to cold, the small blood vessels under their skin will contract more strongly, which can easily lead to blood stasis and poor local blood circulation, thus inducing frostbite.

3. Physical strength and blood circulation conditions will also affect the occurrence of frostbite. People with poor peripheral blood circulation, poor local skin adaptability, poor tolerance or poor resistance to cold, cannot withstand the stimulation of cold and are prone to frostbite.

4. People who exercise less and are less active are also prone to frostbite. Lack of physical activity can easily lead to poor blood circulation in the hands, feet and other limbs. Coupled with the body's poor ability to resist cold, it can easily induce frostbite.

5. Not paying attention to keeping the body warm can easily cause frostbite. Whether it is keeping the body warm or keeping local parts such as hands, feet, and ears warm, they should be done well, otherwise it will easily lead to poor blood circulation and induce frostbite.

6. Wearing clothes that are too tight can lead to poor local blood circulation and may also induce frostbite.

7. Sudden changes in temperature can easily cause frostbite. Do not soak in hot water immediately after freezing.

8. Malnutrition, excessive sweating and dampness of hands and feet, endocrine changes and other factors may also cause frostbite.
