Dry gangrene – Lack of blood supply causes tissues to die.
Wet gangrene – Tissue is infected with bacteria from an injury. The tissue becomes moist and breaks down. A rare wet type, called gas gangrene, develops from specific bacteria deep inside the body. Gas gangrene can be a result of surgery or trauma.
