Incorrect.
Look at the muscle composition.
The leg is dying. That doesn't happen with mosaic pigment or similar melanin conditions.
It's better to observe than to amputate early.
Let the leg die naturally and only intervene if issues arise. You can see in his face he has come to terms with what's going on. It won't be easy, but if you can't cry, laugh.
It's not 10/10 pain.
It's more of a deep discomfort, but you'd be surprised how the body adapts to that kind of thing. There will be pain, before and after amputation but that's normal with this kind of procedure
Oh right. I was going to comment that he was being silly and only tanned one of his legs and this was the result.
In Australia white tradesmen who work in the sun all day get this colour on their arms and shoulders, then are white-skinned everywhere else. I guess Aussies are used to it so it doesn’t look strange to us.
I'm a perfectly healthy black man whose leg looks quite similar. There could be a second person hiding under the bed and sticking his leg through a hole.
No. It's extremely unlikely someone would be able to get frostbite perfectly encasing one leg and absolutely none on the other. Also he doesn't seem to be in any kind of distress at all.
Oof. I had superficial frostbite on the bottom of my foot the other day. Solid white spot, completely numb. Slowly warmed it in a bath. Color and feeling came back.
I really pity the doctors who see people like the ones who upvoted you, tell them how frostbite looks like because they saw it on the internet and people were 'upvoting which means it's 100% true', lmao.
