What is an ulcer?
An ulcer is a type of wound that doesn’t fully heal on its own. Ulcers are typically slow-healing or returning wounds. Ulcers result from a wide range of underlying problems, including:
  • Poor blood circulation
  • Problems with your veins
  • Kidney failure
  • Peripheral vascular disease
  • Inflammatory diseases
Without proper treatment, ulcers and other wounds can lead to serious infections and problems with your mobility. One of the most common types of foot wounds is diabetic ulcers.

Diabetic foot ulcer

Diabetes is a common condition that causes a wide range of complications to your health. One of these complications, known as neuropathy, causes numbness and loss of sensation in your feet. People with diabetic neuropathy commonly experience injuries to their feet without noticing. After going unchecked for some time, what was once a small scrape or cut can quickly turn into an open, slow healing wound. Diabetic ulcers can lead to a serious infection which may require surgery or amputation to preserve your overall health.
