oh hey, when one gets it in the groin area, it has it's own medical name!
"fornier's gangrene"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fournier_gangrene
there's been a few royal people apparently who have died from it. wtf?
The most historically prominent sufferers from this condition may have been Herod the Great, his grandson Herod Agrippa, and possibly the Roman emperor Galerius. Puerto Rican abolitionist and pro-independence leader Segundo Ruiz Belvis died from Fournier gangrene in November 1867[5].
