I have an extensive wound, necrotic fascia, to the thigh extending to the perineal area. What's the best treatment?

If you have necrotic fascia, you need to see a surgeon. The necrotic (dead) tissue will not heal on its own, and you will likely need surgery to remove it. Otherwise, keep pressure off the area and follow a healthy diet with a lot of extra protein. It will likely take a long while to heal. See a wound care specialist who can help formulate a treatment plan for you.

I would recommend hyperbaric oxygen therapy, as it is designed to speed up and promote wound healing.
