Surgery ASAP: Prompt recognition of warning signs and aggressive surgical excision of all involved tissue with vigilant reassessment / repeat surgery whenever indicated are necessary for best outcome.

Remove dead tissue: Surgery to open the skin and remove the dead tissue under the skin is critical, the sooner the better. Strong intravenous antibiotics and intensive care are also important. Hyperbaric oxygen treatments can help, but are not as important as prompt surgery. Later, the wounds can be closed, sometimes with grafts. The wound vac can help ready the wounds for closure and/or grafting. Good luck!
