I got some frostbite. I had to wash my hands with hot water for a few minutes when I got home. They got SO itchy, they still are now.

Your not supposed to use hot water to warm your hands. Since you may have lost feeling in your hands you can not tell how hot the water actually is. The water than can burn your skin and/or cause muscle damage. Best thing to do is let some else run the water for you or put them in your arm pits to warm them.
