Cold burns can occur when skin is exposed to something that is extremely cold such as snow or ice. Cold burn is most common in the toes and fingers. Someone who steps on a cold surface may experience a cold burn.
Blood and temperature control - Higher. When we are too hot, blood vessels supplying blood to the skin can swell or dilate (vasodilation). This allows more warm blood to flow near the surface of the skin, where the heat can be lost to the air. This is why some people's skin looks redder when they feel too hot. When we are too cold the blood vessels supplying warm blood to the skin become narrow or constrict (vasoconstriction). This reduces the flow of warm blood near the surface of the skin, and reduces heat loss. This is why some people's skin looks paler when they feel too cold.
