A member asked:
What is the best treatment for necrotizing fasciitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immediate surgery: Necrotizing fasciitis requires emergency surgical intervention and wide debridement of all devitalized tissues, in combination with antibiotics given in high dosages. This cannot be managed with only a single modality and if not treated quickly can be life-threatening.
