Wound Care

Overview

Foot wounds can become serious, particularly in people with diabetes, poor circulation or reduced sensation. Wounds should be monitored for changes in size, drainage, redness, swelling or other signs of infection. Podiatric wound care focuses on evaluation, pressure reduction, treatment of contributing factors and support for healing.

When to See a Podiatrist

If you're experiencing persistent pain, swelling, changes in skin or nail appearance, difficulty walking or bearing weight, or a condition that isn't improving with basic home care, it's a good idea to schedule an evaluation. Early assessment often leads to simpler, more conservative treatment options.
