HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Gangrene is highly unlikely unless your immune system is compromised in some way.
Compromise can occur with diabetes, use of steroid medications and other immune suppressants, HIV.
It is possible that there is an infection present, you may need to use antibiotics.
It would best to ask your parents/guardians to take you to your doctor for assessment.
I hope this helps
