How To Treat Skin Condition After Ice And Salt Challenge?
Hi, I know this is stupid but I did the ice and salt challenge. I only did it for about a minute and the bottom part of my leg. It didn t hurt but after awhile it got really bright red and started to hurt like a sun burn. I put it in look warm water for about 5 minutes or so and when I got out I put antibacterial cream on it. It s been about 4 hours since it happened and it s still bright red, a lump where the ice was but no pain. Am I going to get blisters from it and is it bad? How long will it last for and will I have scars?

Yes blister may be there. It will take about a week to subside. Just warm compress your leg a bit. apply some oil or moisturizer twice daily for 10 days you will be fine soon..
