Anyone can get the foot problems listed below. For people with diabetes, however, these common foot problems can lead to infection and serious complications, such as amputation.
A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound that occurs in approximately 15 percent of patients with diabetes and is commonly located on the bottom of the foot. Of those who develop a foot ulcer, 6 percent will be hospitalized due to infection or other ulcer-related complication.
Dr. Kaveshver Singh, (Gen. Surgeon & Plastic Surgeon at Skin Image Clinic, Faridabad) says that , A doctor should examine your feet at every visit and do a thorough foot exam once a year. If you have a history of foot problems, you should be checked more often. Your health care provider should also give you information on foot care and answer all your questions. Report any corns, calluses, sores, cuts, bruises, infections, or foot pain.
If necessary, your doctor can recommend a podiatrist who specializes in diabetic foot care or give you information about special shoes that may help. SKIN Image Clinic is providing Diabetic foot Ulcer treatment in faridabad.
