About Podiatric Wound Care
A foot wound is described as having layers of skin and tissue injured, usually as a result of an injury that causes a cut or abrasion. Every stage of wound management is included in wound care. This includes determining the type of wound, taking into account variables that affect wound healing, and using the appropriate wound management procedures. The goal of wound care is to quicken your recovery so you can resume your normal activities. Your quality of life may suffer if you are unable to engage in activities you enjoy due to a persistent wound.
Podiatric Wound Care: What are my treatment options?
There are many options available for the treatment of wounds on the feet. The type of treatment that is most effective will depend on the location and severity of the wound. For minor wounds, applying antibiotic ointment and a Band-Aid, and keeping the area dry is often all that is needed. More serious wounds may require more aggressive treatment, such as debridement or surgery. In some cases, antibiotics may also be necessary to prevent infection. It is important to see a podiatrist for proper care to prevent further complications.
Podiatric Wound Care: When should I seek treatment?
Wound symptoms are often characterized by tenderness, bleeding, swelling, redness/bruising and pain. If you are experiencing any of these indications, particularly if the wound has edges that are deep and long, the symptoms are perpetual and/or seem to be intensifying, you should see one of our podiatrist as soon as possible. The sooner you begin treatment, the more likely it is that the wound will heal quickly and without complications. We will assess your situation and discuss your treatment options with you to promptly set you on the path to recovery.
