Frostbite Care Providers

Prevent | Recognise | Treat Early

Important

The IFRG-UK does not provide formal medical consultations or personalised medical advice, but we can help guide you to appropriate care and resources.

Freezing cold injury or frostbite is quite a specialised area of medicine, not all doctors are familiar with it and so if you can it is best to get advice from experts or attend a facility that is used to treating cases of frostbite, or alternatively ask us, IFRG-UK for guidance on where best to seek help.
