what can be done for an ulcerated toe with possibility of gangrene?
It has a bad smell.

if there is gangrene, the toe has to be amputated. If this isn't done immediately gangrene can spread into the leg (which will have to be amputated) and eventually get into the blood which could lead to death. (

Is this gangrene or some type of necrosis?
About a month ago I noticed that there is a small patch of skin on the side of my ankle/foot that is extremely dry and light brownish black in color. It feels rough too.
There is no pain but it does look/feel weird :(
By the way i'm only 19!
BTW this patch of skin is about the size of a penny and is on the left ball of my foot/ankle.

If it was it would smell really bad because both those terms means your skin is rotting. It sounds like dry skin, just use lotion and an exfoliate. (
