For swelling, you use an ice pack, not direct ice. The only way to get swelling down is ice pack for twenty minutes only. You can do this as necessary.

It would be easier to answer if the cause was known...add details if you can. Usually ice and elevation for 24-48 hours is recommended for an injury. I don't know about salt helping that. Also, do not put the ice directly on your skin...put a barrier there like a rag or something.

My friends have done this before. I'm sorry you fell for it. If you put burn cream on it it should help. You may also want to use Mederma later to prevent scarring.
The salt makes the ice cool quicker. That's why you got the bad effects.

I don't think anyone understands that kids do this for "fun". They put salt on their arm and hold an ice cube on it so it swells and leaves a scar. You probably just shouldn't have done it in the first place.

elevate your arm above your heart.
then wrap an ice pack or some ice in a ziplockbag in a towel and apply it to your arm so you dont get frostbite.
never heard of the salt thing though.

I'm sorry you are hurting, but you don't say what caused the problem. Without that information it isn't possible to tell you what may help to alleviate your suffering.

You gave yourself frostbite. It hurts. It will get better. What's the skin look like?

You posted this question twice. I am not sure that you are aware of it. You are getting answers at both places.
