3. Wet Gangrene

Wet gangrene occurs when a bacterial infection in the affected tissue creates a wet appearance. This type of infection includes swelling and blistering. Some people develop wet gangrene after an injury, or after experiencing frostbite or a severe burn. This form of gangrene is noticeable in people who have diabetes and who unknowingly injure their toes or feet. It spreads quickly and can be life-threatening if not immediately addressed by a doctor.
