To reduce numbness associated with frostbite, it is important to protect your toes from extreme cold and keep them warm as much as possible. When our skin freezes, it damages nerves on the surface of the skin, causing the numb sensation. Depending on the severity of the frostbite, it may take a few days to a few weeks for the numbness to go away. In severe cases, the numbness may be permanent.
