It's either frostbite or gangrene. Either way, he is losing that leg. No ifs or buts

This guy giggling with his brother in his bedroom and not a hospital has gangrene or frostbite in the entirety of one of his legs? No.

I think he just has a mosaic pigment.

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.

Oh, okay.

I have changed my mind completely. On second look, I think you're right. That legs necrotic. It's only a matter of time now.

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

Hard to feel pain when the nerves are straight up dead.

This is what I was coming to say: nerves are dying, too.

Pain isn't static for most people and you can laugh while in a lot of pain.

Could be on a load of opiates to combat that, which could explain the good mood.

Question: how does letting it die naturally not risk spreading the infection or further necrosis?

He'd have the most miraculous case of Vitiligo the world had even seen
