Yesterday our marching band at school had to go outside and we were outside for about 15 to 20 minutes, and when we came inside my fingers started burning and it felt like they were being cut, but we've been outside before and it's always like that. But this morning when I woke up I still can't feel much of them, and now they feel like my finger nail is being pulled off. There is no color change except they are just a little bit more red than normal. Should I just wear an extra pair of gloves or is something wrong?

Sounds like you have frost bite

That's what I thought but wouldn't my fingers be darker color or black? Cause yesterday my dad picked me up from school and I said that I thought I had frostbite and he asked to see my fingers and he said it wasn't frostbite, plus I wouldn't beable to feel ANYTHING... right?

The areas of the body affected by frostbite feel cold and firm. Burning, tingling, stinging, or numbing sensations may be present. Clumsiness can result from impaired motor control. When the affected body part is rewarmed, a throbbing or burning pain may result. Frostbite, like burns, is classified according to the degree of tissue injury. Minor injuries result in swelling, redness, loss of sensation, and white plaques on the skin. More severe lesions have blisters that may become filled with blood. In the most extreme cases, full-thickness freezing damages bones and muscles, resulting in tissue death and loss of the affected area.

So then should I go to the doctor or is it not that bad and I can do something myself for it? And what could I do so I get feeling back in it if I don't have to go to the doctor
