What does Necrotizing fasciitis look and feel like?
Typical signs of infection are redness, swelling, warmth and tenderness. With necrotizing fasciitis, skin around an injection site may show redness and swelling OR it may look normal. The underlying area will feel very tender. You may have pain, chills, and fever. At the beginning, it may look like a regular abscess, but it gets worse very quickly. It can cause serious damage under your skin in as little as 12 hours. Necrotizing fasciitis usually MOVES REALLY FAST. If you have these signs of infection, or the redness or swelling around a wound gets bigger, go to an EMERGENCY ROOM for treatment. Don’t try to treat this infection yourself. Bring a copy of this webpage with you. If Necrotizing fasciitis is caught early, it can be successfully treated. But it is very important to catch it early and begin treatment immediately. This infection is nothing to play around with. If you do not get medical care early, you run the risk of losing skin, losing an arm, or even death. http://www.metrok
