In this condition, ischemia resulting from injury, inflammation, frost bite diseases such as diabetes, or arteriosclerosis can lead to necrosis of tissue followed by bacterial invasion and putrefaction (proteins are decomposed by bacteria).

6. Impetigo: - Bacterial inflammatory skin disease which was characterized by vesicles, pustules, and crusted-over lesions. This is a contagious pyoderma in which py/o means pus and is usually caused by staphylococci or streptococci. Systemic use of antibiotics and proper cleaning of lesions are effective treatments.
