Hi, Welcome to Healthcare Magic. Degloving injury occurs when you get the entire skin of an area off just like a glove. It is an open wound by nature. It needs prolonged dressing in sterile and may need systemic and local antibiotics if infected. I hope you have received tetanusimmunization by now, if no then get it right away. The dark areas may be necrosed patches of skin and need to be examined by a local surgeon. I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
