  1. dry gangrene

    Dry gangrene is a medical condition that occurs when the blood flow to certain parts of the body is restricted, usually due to vascular disease, diabetes, or an infection, causing the tissue in that area to die. It is called "dry" because it often results in dry, shrunken, and darkly discolored (black) tissue. Dry gangrene does not involve a bacterial infection and spreads slower compared to other types of gangrene. The affected area often falls off or may need to be removed to prevent the spread of tissue damage.
