10 points - Redness from holding ice on skin still there after 10 hours?!
Question: 10 points - Redness from holding ice on skin still there after 10 hours.?
I smashed my face into a drawer accidentally. I put ice on my cheek to prevent bruising.
I prevented the bruising, but now there is a noticeably pink mark covering half my cheek, and it's been about 10 hours since I held the ice.
I held it for too long i'm guessing..
what can I do.?

Answers:
holding ice on an injury for longer than 15 minutes can damage the blood vessels and shut them down. its probably just the blood starting to flow again so just give it time!Health Question & Answer
its just the nerves or blood vessels that been damaged, but most likely a delayed reaction since the ice was slowing down the flow
