Hi
Necrotizing fascitis is a rapidly spreading infection of the fascia with necrosis of tissues.Given the rapid spread of the infection,treatment starts immediately at diagnosis with intravenous antibiotics and surgical debridement of dead tissues if already too extensive.You might have been misdiagnosed.
