What happens during the disease - frostbite with tissue necrosis of ankle and foot
Frostbite occurs when skin and underlying tissue are exposed to extremely cold temperatures. this causes the skin to freeze, resulting in tissue necrosis of the ankle and foot. the extreme cold causes the blood vessels to constrict, reducing the amount of oxygen and nutrients reaching the affected area. this leads to cell death, tissue damage, and eventually necrosis. frostbite can also cause nerve damage, leading to numbness and pain.
