Gangrene is a severe condition that happens when the blood flow to a large area of tissue is cut off. This causes the tissue to break down and turn the affected skin black in color. It is imperative to not only treat the wound but have the underlying vascular condition. These cases are high risk for limb loss. It is essential to seek medical help and start early active treatment when these symptoms start. Early treatment with a comprehensive approach leads to the most successful outcomes.
