Diabetic Ulcers
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When a person with diabetes notices wounds on the feet or legs that don't close, it's worth paying attention: diabetic ulcers are skin lesions that are slow to heal, common in those who live with this disease due to the impact on circulation and the nerves.
How they present:
- Wounds that don't heal, especially on the feet
- Redness, swelling, or discharge
- Loss of sensation in the area
When should you seek care? Any wound that doesn't improve, changes color, or gives off a bad odor warrants evaluation without delay.
Which specialist treats them? The dermatologist assesses the condition of the skin in diabetic ulcers, within a course of care that usually involves several professionals. Addressing these lesions promptly is the best way to avoid complications.
