Gangrene
Gangrene is the death of body tissue due to a lack of blood flow or a serious bacterial infection. It can develop quickly and become life-threatening if not treated promptly. Gangrene is a serious condition that occurs when a substantial mass of body tissue dies (necrosis). It can affect any part of the body but typically starts in the extremities such as toes, fingers, hands, and feet. Immediate medical attention is crucial to prevent the spread of gangrene and to save affected tissues.
