Gangrene can occur when tissue loses its blood supply or becomes severely infected. It is a serious condition that needs prompt medical assessment.
Why timely care matters
Early evaluation helps identify the cause, assess the blood flow and control infection. A vascular team may coordinate wound care, imaging, revascularisation and other treatment with the wider medical team.
Do not delay urgent symptoms
Rapidly worsening pain, colour change, swelling, foul odour, fever or a blackening wound should receive urgent medical attention.
