My daughter was playing in the damp cold and now her toes look like this. She says they are burning and itchy. Urgent care is hours away. What is happening?

Cold, damp weather can have a significant impact on the body’s extremities due to the way it affects blood circulation. When the body is exposed to cold temperatures, blood vessels near the skin surface constrict to conserve heat. However, prolonged exposure, especially when combined with moisture, can lead to the vessels suddenly expanding, causing damage to the surrounding tissues.
