+In superficial frostbite the surface of the skin will feel hard or rubbery, but the underlying tissue will be soft, allowing it to move over bony ridges. On the exposed skin on the neck and face it is common to first notice patches that are white or waxy in appearance. This is evidence that only the skin and the region just below it are involved. Very little information is available in wilderness first aid training on the appearance of mid and dark toned skin that has been exposed to mild or superficial frostbite. General treatment for superficial frostbite is as follows:
-# Take the victim indoors.
+# Take the victim indoors, or at a minimum, increase their shelter from the elements.
 # Rewarm hands by placing them under the armpits, against the abdomen, or between the legs.
 # Rewarm feet by placing them in the armpit or against the abdomen of the buddy.
 # Gradually rewarm the affected area by warm water immersion, skin-to-skin contact, or hot water bottles.
 # Never rub a frostbite area.

-The areas most commonly affected are the face and extremities. The symptoms of frostbite are progressive. Victims generally incur this injury without being acutely aware of it.  Initially, the affected skin reddens and there is an uncomfortable coldness.  With continued heat loss, there is a numbness of the affected area due to reduced circulation.  As ice crystals form, the frozen extremity appears white, yellow-white, or mottled blue-white, and is cold, hard, and insensitive to touch or pressure.  Frostbite is classified as superficial or deep, depending on the extent of tissue involvement.

-In deep frostbite, the freezing reaches into the deep tissue layers.  There are ice crystals in the entire thickness of the extremity.   The skin will not move over bony ridges and will feel hard and solid. The objectives of treatment are to protect the frozen areas from further  injury, to rapidly thaw the affected area, and to be prepared to respond to circulatory or respiratory difficulties.
