Secondly, the local manifestation of the patient's conscious suffering from heavy, there is too tight bandage feeling. After that, there was a sudden "distension like" pain in the affected part, which could not be relieved by general analgesics. The swelling of the affected part was obvious and the tenderness was severe. The skin around the wound is edematous, tense, pale and shiny, and soon turns purple red, then purple black, with blisters of different sizes. Due to necrosis, the muscles in the wound are dark red or gray and lose elasticity. They do not contract or bleed when they are cut, just like cooked meat. Twirling sounds are often found around the wound, indicating the presence of gas between the tissues. Gently squeeze the affected part, there are often bubbles escaping from the wound, and there are thin, stinky serous bloody secretions outflow.

Finally, large dose of penicillin (10 million U / D) and tetracycline (2 g / D) can control suppurative infection and reduce the hypoxic environment caused by oxygen consumption due to the reproduction of other bacteria.
