My Grandfather Had A Deep Laceration On The Dorsal Part

My grandfather had a deep laceration on the dorsal part of his foot. He went to the ED and got stitches. They stitched together his skin in such a way that some excess skin exists after the stitch from both sides. It has turned black and I am concerned. Is it normal for this skin to become necrotic?
