What is Necrosis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Symptoms
The symptoms that are associated with necrosis will depend largely on the specific type of necrosis in question. Some varieties will cause symptoms that are barely noticeable, while others will have symptoms that are more severe. One of the most noticeable symptoms, depending on the type of necrosis, is that the affected area will turn black.
The architecture of the affected area can also begin to dissolve, with parts of the body literally decomposing and falling away. Some types of necrosis will also cause severe blisters and generate a foul odor. Pain is also common, while even in mild cases the patient will often notice that the texture and appearance of an area have changed.
