My doctor diagnosed me with necrotizing fasciitis. just checking - what's the best treatment.?

Urgent care: This requires immediate treatment and hospitalization with appropriate antibiotics and debridement (surgical removal) of necrotic tissues.

I hope you're kiddin: This is a life threatening emergency. You need knowledgeable care now.

Treat ASAP!!: If you truly have narcotizing fasciitis, it is serious. You have no time to be playing on the internet! this is an aggressive, usually bacterial, infection that ofter requires a multi faceted approach: identify the organism(s) for appropriate IV antibiotic coverage; surgical removal of the dead tissue; consideration for hyperbaric oxygen treatments and careful monitoring in a medical facility.

Are you sure?: Most people with this diagnosis are gravely ill and in a hospital or er with fever and significant pain. Maybe he said plantar fasciitis (chronic pain in the sole of the foot)?

Surgery: The best treatment for necrotizing fasciaitis is surgical debridement of the involved tissue. This should be done asap as the infection can spread quickly. It may require several debridements as well as prolonged dressing changes, antibiotics, possibly hyperbaric oxygen treatments and perhaps reconstructive procs to close the wound. Good luck.

Surgery + antibiotic: Only treatment.

Immediate surgery: With removal of all devitalized tissue combined with broad spectrum antibiotics.
