Wet gangrene is a serious condition that occurs when body tissues die due to a lack of blood flow and become infected. This type of gangrene is often associated with injuries, infections, or conditions like diabetes that impair blood circulation. The affected area may appear swollen, discolored, and produce a foul-smelling discharge. If left untreated, wet gangrene can spread rapidly and lead to severe complications, including sepsis, a life-threatening infection. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to fight infection and may require surgical removal of the dead tissue to prevent further spread. Prompt medical attention is crucial for a better outcome.
