I ended up getting 3 concussions in a row totaling 127

Naturally I couldn't do anything, all my attributes and abilities were nerfed down insanely.
So this morning I decided to go far far away to the mountain top to get snow to craft Cold Compresses,
as I found out, the concussions turned into Soothing Cold ''wounds'' .
What I'd like to know is, does Soothing Cold takes as long to recuperate from as a Concussion?
At least I can craft and do stuff now, my abilities are back to full

It was a fun trip to the mountains.
Oh and I know snow will melt (decay) within 12 hours, will Cold Compresses also do that?
Thanx.
