Diabetic Foot Wounds treatment in Morelia

Diabetic foot wounds are injuries or ulcers that appear on the feet of people living with diabetes, favored by reduced sensation and by compromised circulation in that area.

Why they occur: Nerve damage causes small chafing or blisters to go unnoticed, and healing tends to be slower.

Warning signs:

• Wounds that do not close or are slow to heal
• Redness, swelling, or foul odor
• Changes in the color or temperature of the foot

Which specialist treats them? The podiatrist is the professional dedicated to foot care and to treating these injuries. When faced with any wound that does not heal, the prudent thing is to have it checked promptly to keep it from getting worse.
