Can frostbite heal on its own

[sunshine ducky]

Hey everyone, one of my hens has recently got frostbite. I rehomed her in my house and was thinking, should I just leave her till winter ends and not do anything to the comb. Or should I put medications or vasaline on it right away? Basically can a frost bitten comb cure itself? Thanks!

Vetericyn spray is good to use for frostbite, and bacitracin or plain neosporin ointment are also good. The frostbitten points may become rounded off within a few weeks.
