Salt helps melt ice through a chemical reaction, that is why they use it on snowy/icy roads. As the ice is melting, the ice gives off heat as part of the reaction.

its a chemical reaction. The numbness of the ice makes your skin weak and then the salt kinda like forms with your skin causing a burning from teh opposite attraction of the ice
