What is a Diabetic Foot Ulcer?

A diabetic foot ulcer is an open wound that usually develops under the foot or toes due to nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor blood circulation. These ulcers may start small but can worsen rapidly without proper care.

Common Causes:

Peripheral neuropathy (loss of sensation)
Poor circulation (peripheral artery disease)
Improper footwear or injuries
High blood sugar levels
Foot deformities or calluses

⚠️ Untreated ulcers can get infected and may require amputation. Early diagnosis and care are essential.
