Acute management of<unk> s generally includess antibiotic therapy, pressure offloading, re-vascularization, if appropriate, and debridement of infected tissues (or amputation if necessary). Hospitalization is more likely needed when lower extremity pulses are absent or when<unk>  penetrates to the level of the fascia or more deeply.<unk> s with skin gangrene may reflect deep space<unk> , abscess, and tissue necrosis. When debridement is necessary, wounds are left open so that serial debridements may be performed over the course of the wound’s healing. Antibiotic choice should be guided by deep tissue culture, severity of the<unk> , presence or absence of osteomyelitis, prior antibiotic treatment, and previous or current MRSA<unk> . Wounds without confirmed<unk>  should not be treated with antibiotics. Length of treatment depends primarily on severity of<unk> ; skin and superficial soft tissue<unk> s may require treatment for 1-2 weeks while deeper<unk> s (including osteomyelitis) may require 6-12 weeks, including those who undergo surgery.
