So, I think I might have frostbite on my inner thigh, which is apparently, what happens when you stand at a bus stop for half an hour in below-zero weather, while wearing dress pants. The skin is still irritated two weeks after. It feels like a sunburn in reverse, almost. My. Motherfucking. Life.

Putting aloe on it. Anything else I should do. At this point, I'm pretty sure nothing's going to fall off at least.

Do you have vitamin E oil or a comfrey-based salve? The first is pretty easy to find in Whole Paycheck; Akycha says the second is too. Both are good for the skin and underlying tissues.

Also, take vitamin C.

Thank you! Vitamin C I have on hand. The other stuff I'll have to buy, but that's easy enough, now that I know what I need.

St. John's Wort salve will also help. It's the best remedy I know for sunburn and frostbite (long-term healing; aloe goes on first).

Noted! I didn't even realize there was such a thing, though I knew about the pills.
