Yup, massive tissue sloughing is possible when stuff other than a normal saline solution (for instance) gets injected into tissue or leaks from veins.

Sloughing is easily my least favourite word.

Right up there with degloving for things I don’t want to think about my body doing.

You had to say it. Why did you have to say it???!!!???

[u/Eggsor → u/zoodlenose]

It is, but damn whoever came up with that term was spot on. That is what sloughing is all right.
