If your referring to the dark area on the comb I think it will be fine

There is not much you can do except try to prevent further problems by providing high overhead ventilation end to end to help remove humidity, and keep the roost away from drafts. Prevent spills and keep bedding dry. It can take a few days to see if it clears up or if there is damage. Damaged combs tend to turn black or tan, and will become rounded off. Do not handle or massage the comb. Here is some reading about frostbite:
