It's actually gone dark. . . .
Not serious - the spellings grene/green are different. Just a daft bit of fun. Thanks for the serious answers though, welcome.

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and the term gangrene does not mean it is actually green. Gangrene is caused initially by an infection that goes deep into the flesh and if the infection isn't treated, it destroys the cells and then lack of oxygen occurs.This will then spread along the limb or organ and in fact it goes black not green.There is also gas gangrene

Gangrene isn't actually green. It's a dark colour (black) as it's made up of necrotic (dead) tissue.
If you are concerned about the look of the area of your "de-skinned blister", I'd suggest seeing a doctor. You may well need antibiotics.

Why for dieters- perhaps you should be asking a doctor?

I don't think so, but if you suspect you have necrotic tissue, put a few maggots on there, and let them eat the rotted flesh.
