The patient said the lesions started 2 weeks earlier following a spider bite. His physical examination revealed an otherwise healthy child with no medical history with raised square lesions of the left forearm. The lesions were in different stages of healing and resembled second-degree burns. Examination showed no other lesions. Vital signs were normal. The patient was discharged after the lesions were dressed with antibiotic ointment. A follow-up consultation was scheduled a week later, but the patient did not attend the follow-up consultation. A senior emergency physician called the family and learned that the lesions were progressively healing and no other lesions appeared. The teen admitted he played the \u201csalt and ice challenge.\u201d<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The salt and ice challenge involves putting salt on the skin and then applying and\/or pressing ice cubes on top of the salt. The challenge is to resist the pain consecutive to frostbite for as long as possible. The result is often second-degree burns and possible partial third-degree burns.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Because of the current popularity of this practice, emergency or family physicians, pediatricians, dermatologists, and burn or orthopedic surgery units might encounter these injuries.
