Its primary symptoms are, a simple ulcer without induration, without elevated edges, and without phagedena.
PHAGEDENA, PHAGEDÆNA, faj-e-d[=e]'na, _n._ a sloughing ulcer, hospital gangrene.--_adjs._ PHAGED[=E]'NIC, PHAGEDÆ'NIC.

Second, the noma, or penetrating phagedena, which extends deeply, penetrating sometimes perpendicularly down through the cellular substance to the muscular fascia; at other times, proceeding more irregularly, penetrating deeper at one part than another, and having its margins ending less abruptly in the neighbouring skin.
