Wound Care & Limb Salvage
Foot wounds that do not heal, especially with diabetes or poor circulation, can put the limb at risk. Early, specialized care makes a real difference.
Common symptoms
- A sore or ulcer that is not healing
- Drainage, odor, or redness
- Black or discolored skin
When to see a podiatrist
See us right away for any foot wound that is not improving. Go to the emergency room for fever, spreading redness, or severe pain.
How we diagnose it
We assess the wound, circulation, and infection risk, and may order imaging or lab work.
Treatment options
- Wound cleaning and advanced dressings
- Pressure off-loading
- Coordination with vascular and infectious disease specialists
- Surgery to save the limb when needed
