WHAT IS A DIABETIC FOOT ULCER?

A diabetic foot ulcer is an open wound that develops due to pressure, poor circulation, and nerve damage.

 

Most ulcers occur on:

- The bottom of the foot

- The toes

- Areas of high pressure

​

Because of neuropathy, many patients do not feel pain, which allows the wound to worsen quickly.

WHY DIABETIC ULCERS ARE SERIOUS

Without treatment, ulcers can rapidly progress.

 

Complications include:

  • Infection

  • Abscess formation

  • Bone infection (osteomyelitis)

  • Tissue death (gangrene)

  • Amputation

​

👉 Early treatment dramatically improves outcomes.
