An aerosol burn is an injury to the skin caused by the pressurized gas within an aerosol spray cooling quickly with the sudden drop in temperature sufficient to cause frostbite to the applied area. Medical studies have noted an increase of this practice known as frosting in pediatric and teenage patients.Adiabatic expansion causes the gas (with a low boiling temperature) to rapidly cool on exit from the aerosol applier.
