Are Brown Marks On Leg After Going Outside Due To Frostbite?

I was wondering about frostbit and what it looks like? I have a consumer who got out of the house last night and now has brown marks on his leg and when staff found him out side he was sitting on the ground and it was only 32 degrees out no one knows how long he was out side for?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi as far as i know frost bite does not cause black spots .the black spots after coming outside can be freckles due to photodermatoses.sometimes it can be caused by sudden exposure of sunlight after leaving in cold conditions for long time.
They can be cured by sunscreen in the morning and application of triglow cream along with alovera in the night time and vitamin c supplementation
