They are kept in the freezer. Great for sore backs, and other aches.
They are also very helpful on hemorrhoids. Any danger of frostbite in a delicate area?
The cold pack says 15 to 20 minutes max on an area. By then everything is numb but I sure don’t want frostbite.
Yes they can cause frostbite, especially to mucous membrane tissue like lips and your starfish.
Do not put them directly on the body surface. Use a cloth between.
And be mindful of that 15-20 minutes, even if you wrap it in a towel or whatever. I frostbit my back a few months ago with one of those things, and the skin still isn’t quite back to normal.
Ok. I’ll be sure to use a towel.
I knew ice cubes and packs of frozen vegetables were a bad idea, This compress has a thin fabric like covering but using a towel makes sense.
