The symptoms depend on the location and cause of the gangrene. If the skin is involved, or the gangrene is close to the skin, the symptoms may include:


* Discoloration (blue or black if skin is affected; red or bronze if the affected area is beneath the skin)
* Foul-smelling discharge
* Loss of feeling in the area (which may happen after severe pain in the area)
If the affected area is inside the body (such as gangrene of the gallbladder or gas gangrene), the symptoms may include:
* [[Confusion]]
* [[Fever]]
* General ill feeling
* Persistent or severe [[pain]]
