i'd get a second opinion. there could be some serious problems. you can check your symptoms on webmd but i would go back to the doc. It sounds like gangrene to me too and you can get that even if you're not diabetic.

When your dealing with the skin, it could be a whole host of different things. My suggestion to you is to take your mother to the local hospital. Have them look at your mother. They may be of more help than the doctor you had seen.
They may recommend your mother see a different dermatologist or a completely different doctor altogether. This condition may be serious. Go to the hospital right away!
Good luck to you and your mom!
I hope I was some what helpful!

Sounds like you need to have a second opinion. Make an appointment with another dermatologist. You may want to go to the Derm Department of a teaching hospital.

Is she diabetic? Because this sounds like it could be gangrene. She needs to go to the doctor, like NOW!
