can tissue become necrotic from a cut?

"Necrotic" just means dead, so one would think that yes, this is possible.  More likely you are looking at trapped dried blood, or a perticularly nasty bruise.  What were you cut with? It could also be infected with something nasty.  \n\nIf you have no feeling in it, you might think about seeing a doctor, but if it is complaining, it's probably healing.

Keep in mind that necrosis is different from cell apoptosis.  \n\nApoptosis is "programmed cell death" where the cell actually will undergo extra protein synthesis in order to make the proteins for a rather organized cell death.  The cell essentially becomes a bunch of little vesicles that are eaten up by nearby phagocytic cells.  \n\nNecrosis occurs when the cell kinda falls apart.  It realeases a whole bunch of "crud" into the system that results in inflammation.  \nThere are whole protein cascades and signalling pathways that control these events.  But, in an overview, necrosis occurs in two general steps.  \n\n1. Chromatin clump up, and organelles begin to swell up.\n2. Plasma membrane breaks down, and the cell disintigrates.  The resulting debris can cause inflammation.

There is always a risk of sepsis after a surgical procedure.  But this one carries little risk.  Since the surgey takes place in a aspetic environment, infection would happen during recovery.  This would only happen if your stiches come apart before healing has finished.  But you should be given antibiotics after a surgical procedure like that anyway.

By strangulation: pressure on the hernial contents may compromise blood supply (especially veins, with their low pressure, are sensitive, and venous congestion often results) and cause ischemia, and later necrosis and gangrene, which may become fatal. Most hernias can be pushed back into the abdominal cavity. However, if it cannot be pushed back through the abdominal wall, this can lead to a strangulated loop of intestine. If left untreated, this portion of the intestine dies because of loss of blood supply.\nPlease see the webpages for more details on Hernia.

ABSOLUTLY NOT. What is wrong with you guys? He is in a very dangerous situation. If it's not treated, the infection will likely become septic ( poison his bloodstream, if it hasn't already). This is an infection, more dangerous than many. If the infection gets to his heart, he could very easily die, and without immediate treatment, he will. I've seen this tragedy two times in the ER. GO NOW, not later, or tomorrow. This is a job for an oral surgeon.\n\n\nGrizz

It depends on the presence of scar tissue once the inflammation resolves.  Ask your gynecologist.

No, but it will not kill you are hurt you it will just come out the other end safely. But it wont break down as does food.

Plz see ur doc urgently.\nThis might even require USG or other scans to see if there is physical damage.\n& that obviously can't be done on Yahoo answers, can it?

no biggie! except the one that was in your butt! ok, rest and clean the ass and smack some neosporin on the cut part. also, take two advil and go to sleep tomorrow you'll hurt worse than today but keep on keepin on and it will get better. NO HOSPITAL unless the bleeding won't stop!

If it is just a small scrape yes. If you are going to have a scar and it was bigger than a scrape then it might not right away or at all.

You need to see a doctor ASAP\n\nif its a cut, it could get infected and cause sepsis\nif its a sore it could be a STD

let your body heal, don't do any exercise until your doctor gives you the okay.  If you work out and rip a suture you can put yourself in a world of pain and trouble.  Open wounds get infected real fast, they can lead to infection and depending on what was operated on you could permanently damage muscle.

Yes - no reason why not. Many wounds aren't dressed these days. Sutures are not a contraindication for removing a dressing. Keep the wound dry thought for a couple of days.

Yes it sounds like you could have an adominial hernia, that could get strangulated if you do not get treatment for it.  Once it is strangulated, the blood supply to the piece of gut, that is protruding, will be cut off causing severe problems

Yes, they still get it.  As long as there are germs/bacteria, there will always be something out there that will be antibiotic resistant that can kill us.  And there will always be something.  Bacteria constantly mutate to survive.  People don't wash their hands enough and touch all kinds of things they shouldn't.  I know sometimes you can get a flesh eating bacteria (Necrotizing Fasciitis) just from bumping your leg on something and getting a cut that is so small that you pay no attention to it.  If it's infected with the Necrotizing Fasciitis, it will eat into your flesh so quickly that you can lose 1 pound of flesh or more an hour if untreated.

The flesh that was cut off is dying because its blood supply was severed.  If it's not a large piece it's better to cut it off completely and let the wound scab over on its own.   The skin will heal eventually, but it will leave a scar because the knuckle is in constant motion and newly-grown skin can't adapt quickly.  You can see a doctor about it to ease your mind if necessary.

you may have nicked a tendon, but it's doubtful.  considering the location of the cut, it will begin to bleed and hurt more when you bend it because you may tear apart the areas that have clotted and are trying to heal.  without actually seeing it i can't say if you need a trip to the doctor, but it just sounds like it's the location of the cut that is causing your issues.
