What Is a Diabetic Foot Ulcer?
A Diabetic Foot Ulcer is an open wound or sore that usually develops on the foot in people with diabetes. Due to poor blood circulation and nerve damage (neuropathy), small injuries or cuts may not heal properly and can gradually turn into serious ulcers, often leading to infection.
Common Symptoms of Diabetic Foot Ulcer :
- Non-healing wound or sore on the foot or toes
- Swelling, redness, or warmth around the wound
- Foul-smelling discharge or pus from the ulcer
- Darkened or black skin around the wound (in severe cases)
- Numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation in the feet
- Difficulty in walking due to pain or wound
Common Causes and Risk Factors :
- Long-standing or uncontrolled diabetes
- Nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy)
- Poor blood circulation to the legs and feet
