    Fournier's gangrene is a rare, rapidly progressive, fulminant form of infective necrotising fasciitis of the genital, perianal and perineal regions. We present a case of Fournier's gangrene of the penis complicating acute genital ulceration and recurrent paraphimosis that was secondary to contemporaneous COVID-19 and Mpox infection in an otherwise healthy 41-year-old man. It is important for clinicians to be aware of Fournier's gangrene, as early detection remains the cornerstone of effective tissue and indeed life conserving management.
