Flesh Eating Bacteria - Tropical Ulcer - stock photo

A severe tropical ulcer eats away at a woman's foot at a refugee camp in Sanaag, Somalia. It has been left untreated for months leaving her unable to walk. She stays with her children in a refugee camp in Somalia. In a very rudimentary, make-shift setting, doctors come from a nearby town in an attempt to treat and save her foot. Tropical ulcers are an acute to chronic skin infection seen in remote tropical areas. The lesions develop as small painful or itchy nodules on the feet or lower legs. The lesions break down suddenly to reveal an extensive area of deep but regular necrosis affecting the skin and underlying skin area. Ulcer formation is almost always associated with malnourishment and underlying chronic disease.
