Firstly, it will be too cold for you to tolerate for more than 1 -2 minute. That will not provide the comfort and itch relief you were seeking for. Secondly, your skin will be wet from the melting ice and that’s going to be a little messy. A towel will soak up the water. Thirdly, probably is the most important, is that ice-pack/ice pad wrapped in towel is soothingly cold and not icy cold so you will not get cold sore.

Thanks for tip!
But i have a question, why can’t ice be applied directly to the skin?
