Frostbite is an injury to body tissues caused by extreme cold. Submerging the affected body - part in warm water (not hot) is a recommended first - aid measure as it helps to gradually rewarm the tissue. Massaging can damage the delicate blood vessels, applying pressure is not a treatment for frostbite, and applying a cool compress will not help in rewarming which is the main goal.
