• Tropical Ulcer

  Advanced trench foot often involves blisters and open sores, which lead to fungal infections; this is sometimes called tropical ulcer (jungle rot). If left untreated, trench foot usually results in gangrene, which can cause the need for amputation. [en.wikipedia.org]

  This progression may be referred to as jungle rot or tropical ulcer. Gangrene may result if the condition is left untreated. Involvement of the toes, heel and the entire foot is possible especially in severe cases which are left untreated. [allhealthsite.com]

Most importantly, the appropriate treatment for immersion foot is different than the treatment for other freezing cold injuries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

TREATMENT. The objectives of treatment are to protect the frozen area from further injury, to thaw the affected area rapidly, and to be prepared to respond to circulatory or respiratory difficulties. Carefully assess and treat other injuries first. [tpub.com]
