Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Advanced Care to Promote Healing and Prevent Complications

What Are Diabetic Foot Ulcers?

Diabetic foot ulcers are open sores or wounds that commonly develop on the feet of individuals with diabetes. These ulcers are a result of poor circulation, nerve damage (neuropathy), and delayed healing often associated with diabetes. Without proper treatment, these wounds can lead to infections, tissue damage, or even the need for amputation.

Recognizing the Signs of a Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Early detection of a diabetic foot ulcer is critical for effective treatment.
Common signs include:

  • Redness or Swelling: Around an open sore.

  • Drainage or Discharge: Visible on socks or shoes.

  • Unusual Odors: May indicate infection.

  • Pain or Tenderness: Though some individuals may not feel pain due to neuropathy.

  • Visible Wound or Skin Changes: An open sore or patch of discolored skin on the foot.

If you notice any of these symptoms, prompt medical care is essential.
