Symptoms of GANGRENE
Gangrene leads to the development of black skin with dead underlying muscle and bone,. The skin is firm and sounds are heard when it is displaced or bent. There may be the sensation of air bubbles underneath the skin. Swelling, pain and eventual loss of sensation occur in the severely damaged tissues. As the tissue decays, there may be ulceration and discharge from the tissue that is rancid. Temperature may increase, if the tissues become infected and spread to the rest of the body.
