    What are the possible complications of necrotizing fasciitis?

    Dr. Afra Abdussamad

    MBBS · 3.5 years of exp

    Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly progressive inflammatory infection of the fascia, with secondary necrosis of the subcutaneous tissues. The causative bacteria may be aerobic, anaerobic, or mixed flora. These infections can be sudden, vicious, and fast-spreading. If not treated quickly with antibiotics and/or debridement of the infected tissue, the patient may develop several complications like akin necrosis, limb loss, scarring with cosmetic deformity, septic shock with cardiovascular collapse, toxic shock syndrome, which may lead to multiple organ failure like renal failure, and death.

    Chafing occurs when your skin rubs together and the friction leads to redness and irritation. Chafing is not a serious problem in and of itself. But if the chafing becomes severe enough that the skin opens or a blister forms, it could make skin susceptible to bacteria and viruses, and lead to an infection.
