See the best treatments for Necrotizing fasciitis here
Treatment may include:
Surgery that removes infected tissue and fluids to stop the spread of infection. Surgery is almost always needed. Most people need several surgeries to control the infection. Removing limbs (amputation) or organs may be done to save the person's life, depending on how severe the infection is and where it has spread.
Medicines (such as antibiotics ). These kill the bacteria causing the infection.
Procedures to treat complications such as shock, breathing problems, and organ failure.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy .

Early diagnosis, combination of surgical debridement of infection and antibiotics, then ongoing wound cleaning therapy and antibiotic treatment, may include more surgical debridement, wound vac, IV and oral and topical antibiotics, oxygen chamber, multi disciplinary therapies.

Antibiotics, hyperbaric treatments and surgery. Quick diagnosis and treatment are very important. Debridement (removing dead and damaged tissue) will need to be performed repeatedly, sometimes multiple times per day.

In my case (NF on tailbone) I feel the use of the Wound Vac (negative pressure machine) was the best treatment medically. My advice for anyone that has NF in the same area is to make sure you keep it clean. Debridement is something that can be painful but also is necessary to help heal faster.

The best treatments would be IV antibiotics and surgery.

I had surgical excision and extensive grafts along with weeks of iv antibiotics.

The only treatments for NF are seeking help from medical personnel in a hospital. Your wound will need for the infected tissue to be removed and strong, specific antibiotics will need to be administered by IV. This is a very aggressive, persistent and mean infection so don’t be upset or discouraged or mad at the doctors if you have to go back in to have more tissue removed.
