        No, it’s caused by bacteria. per wikipedia Most cases of Fournier gangrene are infected with both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria such as Clostridium perfringens.

        Fournier gangrene is a type of necrotizing fasciitis or gangrene affecting the external genitalia or perineum. It most commonly occurs in older men, but it can also occur both in women and children, diabetics, alcoholics, or the immunocompromised.

            That’s after debridement, where the necrotic tissue was surgically removed. While it’s horrifying the necrotic tissue would probably have looked far worse.
