"Doctor, didn't you say it was just an ingrown toenail?" After a moment of silence, the patient spoke.
"Maybe it started as an ingrown toenail, but when the infection progresses to a certain extent, or if it's infected by some particularly dangerous bacteria, it can lead to the current situation," Liu Banxia said.
"To be precise, the wound itself is secondary; the key is the bacteria. Such bacteria often possess strong drug resistance, so even though you took medication at home, it had minimal effect."
"After being infected by this type of bacteria, if it's only a localized infection in the subcutaneous tissue, it's not a major concern. But if it spreads, it can develop into necrotizing fasciitis."
"This is a disease with a very high mortality rate and is extremely dangerous. I'm not trying to scare you, but our Emergency Center, despite not being open for very long, has encountered several such cases."
