Severe foot ischemia

Is this the same as dry gangrene? A family member had a toe like this, and it shriveled up and fell off. The Dr. said it would self-amputate.

This looks far past any self-treatment. Looks like it might have started as frostbite. I've seen it in fingers.

Not trying to be a dick or anything like that, but perhaps this should be moved to the Human Deformities & Medical Problems section.

In the olden days that would be called “foot rot”.

Cool post!

Did it occur to you that the comment you responded to was written when the post was in another section?

Staple some rotten flesh here, paint some toenails gold, and good as new! Maybe the doctor was on LSD.
