Necrosis of the toes
From DrKoop's partner site on cholesterol, CholesterolNetwork.com
Necrosis is death of a portion of tissue or an organ in the body. Tissue death occurs when there is not enough blood supplied to the area, whether from trauma, radiation, or chemicals. Once necrosis is confirmed, it is not reversible.
