Gangrene performance in attacking the nerves is very fast or just in a matter of days Clostridium perfringens (CP) bacteria have spread throughout the body.

Therefore, if someone is tested positive for Clostridium Prefringens (CP) and Exotoxin Clostridial (EK) bacteria, the doctor will soon decide to immediately amputate, so the bacteria do not spread to other tissues.
The dead or decayed tissue cannot be treated; therefore, one way to stop the spread of karus bacteria is amputation.
Debridement operation or removal of dead tissue helps in preventing the spread of gangrene to another tissue. The damaged or sick blood vessels may also be repaired during the operation, so the blood flow is restored to the affected area.
If the patient is still in the low stage, it means that the rate of decaying has not widened, the doctor may perform a skin graft, on condition that the whole bacteria certainly have been killed. The way is removing some healthy skin from one part of the patient's body and spreading it over the affected area.
Usually the sacrificed skin is taken from the body hidden by clothing. Skin grafts can only be done if the blood supply to the affected area is not problematic.
I have written about the cause of gangrene or decay Skin that gangrene is decaying in the wound caused by reduction or cessation of blood supply to the injured tissue so the cells are death.
The signs and symptoms of gangrene or decay injuries include tremendous pain in the wound, these wounds usually occur on fingers, feet, arms and hands.
The complaint continues by the meat swelling around the wound. Because the blood supply is reduced or inadequate to maintain the tissue, resulting in contaminated parts by Clostridium perfringens (CP) bacteria are stopped, so the meat and the skin around the wound begin to shrink and turn jet black.
If it is like this, there will be decay and emit a bad odor. The dark color is due to the disruption of hemoglobin of red hemolyzed blood cells because of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) which is produced by the bacteria. For wet gangrene, it occurs in other organs such as mouth, intestines, lungs, cervix, and vulva. Tissue infected by microorganism also causes decaying.
As for the type of dry gangrene, it has slow progress for months. Usually the patient's organs appear red lines on the skin surrounding the affected tissue. This area will change from red, brown, to black, and gradually become numb and cold. When necrosis or dead tissue occurs, there may be pain.
However, some older patients will not feel anything or get numb, but suddenly it has occurred decaying.
