It takes a few weeks to scab up and drop off, if the swelling is still there then they may be a bit of discomfort.
I put loads of cream on my lads to cool down the swelling and stop flies getting to it as that really got his fur the wrong way. I would try that and keep an eye on it.

This is from the Farmkey website: -
Stages in the development of the freezemark
Slight swelling lasting for approximateley 24 hours
Usually after 2-3 weeks a scab will begin to form *
After 4-6 weeks the scab should fall away naturally, to leave bare skin *
New hair will begin to grow after approximately 6 weeks, depending on the time of year *
The actual freezemark should appear approximately 12 weeks* after marking
* Please note these timings are guides only, and may vary with individual horses dependant upon breed, skin type and season.
Hope it helps

We had to get one redone as it didn't 'take' first time. Even now it's a bit sketchy.
