Frostbite with tissue necrosis of head - what does this mean
Frostbite with tissue necrosis of the head occurs when the skin and underlying tissues are exposed to extreme cold temperatures, causing the tissue to freeze and die, leading to tissue necrosis. this can be especially dangerous if it occurs on the face, as it can lead to scarring and disfigurement.
What happens during the disease - frostbite with tissue necrosis of head
Frostbite is a condition caused by prolonged exposure of the skin to temperatures below freezing. it results in tissue necrosis of the affected area as the cold temperatures cause the blood vessels to constrict, reducing the blood supply to the skin and underlying tissue. this causes the cells to become damaged and eventually die, leading to tissue necrosis. in severe cases, the tissue necrosis can extend to the head, resulting in permanent damage to the affected area.
