Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe infection, rare in pediatrics, often challenging to diagnose. An 18-month-old girl presented with fever and swelling after a minor cut. Over six days, her condition worsened, leading to the diagnosis of NF. Surgical debridement revealed extensive necrosis. After intensive care with sugar dressings and broad-spectrum antibiotics, her wound improved significantly. She was discharged after 21 days, emphasizing the importance of hygiene and timely medical care.
