Foot Infections & Ulcerations
Infections & Ulcerations: Expert Foot Care at Foot & Ankle Specialists of Delray
Overview of Infections & Ulcerations
Infections and ulcerations in the feet are serious conditions that can arise due to various factors, often leading to significant discomfort and potential complications. These issues require prompt and effective treatment to prevent worsening and promote healing.
Causes and Types
Foot infections can result from cuts, wounds, diabetic complications, or skin conditions. Ulcerations, common in diabetic patients, are open sores that can become infected if not properly managed. The severity of these conditions can range from minor infections to severe, deep ulcers requiring specialized medical attention.
Symptoms to Watch For
Symptoms include redness, swelling, warmth in the affected area, pain, and in the case of ulcers, visible open sores. Any sign of infection, especially for diabetic patients, should be taken seriously and addressed immediately.
