Ice pack burn/Frostbite?

Three days ago, I briefly applied an uncovered icepack to my head. Since then, i have had what feels like a burn on my skin. Should I go to the doctor?

    Do you have a sore or burn? Clean with soap and water and apply some antibiotic ointment. It should heal okay without going to the doctor. Just make sure it's not getting infected, otherwise go to the doctor.

    Immediately apply an ice pack to take the swelling down. Heat for the pain. If it's a constant pain in your back, low heat.
