Why Is Your Leg Wound Not Healing?

Call Now: +91 73535 30505




 A small cut or wound on the leg usually begins to heal with proper care. But when a wound remains open, repeatedly breaks down, or shows little improvement, it may be a sign of an underlying problem. Non-healing wounds should not be ignored, particularly in people with diabetes or circulation problems.


Common Reasons a Leg Wound May Not Heal

1. Diabetes or High Blood Sugar

Diabetes can affect nerves and blood vessels, reducing sensation and blood flow. This can make wounds difficult to notice and slower to heal. Diabetic foot and wound problems require timely assessment.

2. Poor Blood Circulation

Insufficient blood supply means the wound may not receive enough oxygen and nutrients needed for healing. Vascular problems, including peripheral arterial disease, can contribute to slow-healing ulcers.

3. Infection

Increasing redness, swelling, warmth, pain, foul-smelling discharge or pus can indicate infection and requires medical attention.

4. Repeated Pressure or Friction

Walking on or repeatedly rubbing an injured area can prevent the wound from closing properly. Off-loading pressure may be an important part of wound care.

5. Swelling and Other Underlying Conditions

Leg swelling, nerve problems, nutritional deficiencies and vascular conditions can all interfere with normal wound healing.


When Should You See a Doctor?

Seek medical evaluation if your leg wound is not improving, becomes larger, painful, red or swollen, develops discharge, or shows changes in colour or sensation. People with diabetes should be particularly careful because some foot ulcers can have limited pain despite significant problems.

3 Questions to Ask Your Surgeon Before Agreeing to Surgery!

Image
Call Now: +91 7353530505 Being told that you may need surgery can immediately lead to a long list of questions. Do I really need surgery?  Are there other treatment options? What will recovery actually be like?  Can I wait? What are the risks?  How soon can I return to work? These are reasonable questions—and patients should feel comfortable asking them. Before planned surgery, the goal should not be to simply understand the name of the procedure. You should understand why it is being recommended, what alternatives may exist and what you can realistically expect afterward. The NHS specifically recommends that patients discuss treatment alternatives, the reason surgery is being recommended, potential benefits and risks, who will perform the operation, anaesthesia, hospital stay and recovery before proceeding. Here are three questions that can help you have a more meaningful conversation with your surgeon. 1. Do I Definitely Need Surgery? This should be ...

A Corn on Your Foot Isn't Always “Just a Corn.”

Image
Call Now: +91 73535 30505 A small, hard patch on your foot may seem harmless. But if a foot corn is painful, keeps returning, or changes the way you walk, it may be a sign that something underneath the skin needs attention.   A corn is a localized area of thickened skin that commonly develops because of repeated pressure or friction, such as from footwear. Foot deformities can also create pressure points that contribute to recurring corns. Why Does a Corn Keep Coming Back? Simply removing the thickened skin may provide temporary relief. However, if the underlying pressure point, footwear problem or foot abnormality remains, the corn can return.   That's why recurring corns shouldn't always be treated as a cosmetic problem. Don't Try “Bathroom Surgery” Cutting or shaving a corn yourself can cause cuts, infection and further complications. This is particularly important for people with diabetes, because nerve damage can reduce sensation and make foot injuries harder to not...
