I have an extensive wound to the thigh extending to the perineal area. we are unable to place a wound vac due to the location. 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.
