A gangrene abscess is an inflammatory formation of the skin that develops against the background of an infected carbuncle. The blood supply to the skin occurs at deep levels, and the infection can spread not only to the skin, but also to surrounding tissues and organs. If not treated in a timely manner, infection may enter the bloodstream, leading to the development of a systemic disease - sepsis. In this case, the abscess cannot be cured with local treatment alone. To save the patient, general antibiotic therapy is necessary.
