Wet gangrene can spread quickly and can become life-threatening if not treated urgently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Common signs and symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Swollen tissue: The affected area often becomes swollen, puffy, and enlarged<\/li>\n<li>Blisters or sores: Fluid-filled blisters or sores may appear, and they can leak blood, pus, or foul-smelling fluid<\/li>\n<li>Wet, oozing skin: The surface may look moist, shiny, or ooze infected fluid. This \u201cwet\u201d appearance is a classic feature of wet gangrene.<\/li>\n<li>Bad smell: Infected dead tissue often gives off a strong foul odor.<\/li>\n<li>Color change: The skin may first look pale, then turn red, and later become brown, purple, greenish-black, or black. On darker skin, these color changes may be harder to notice.<\/li>\n<li>Severe pain, then sometimes numbness: Early on, the area may be very painful. As the tissue dies, it may later become numb or lose feeling.<\/li>\n<li>Redness around a wound; A red, inflamed area around a wound or blister can be an early clue that infection is spreading into damaged tissue. This is an inference from standard gangrene symptom patterns.<\/li>\n<li>Fever or feeling very unwell: If infection spreads, it can cause fever and make the whole body feel sick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Important point<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wet gangrene is different from dry gangrene, because infection is part of the problem. That is why it usually progresses faster and is more dangerous.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Emergency warning<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rapidly worsening black or discolored skin<\/li>\n<li>Blisters, pus, or foul-smelling drainage<\/li>\n<li>Severe pain followed by numbness<\/li>\n<li>Fever, weakness, or feeling very sick<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These warning signs need immediate emergency medical care.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Medical disclaimer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This note is for general education only and is not a diagnosis. Wet gangrene is an emergency. Any rapidly worsening discolored skin, foul-smelling wound, blistering, severe pain, numbness, or fever should be evaluated immediately by a qualified doctor or emergency department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It happens when body tissue dies and becomes infected, often after poor blood supply,
