What Are Wounds and Ulcers?

Wounds and ulcers are injuries or breaks in the skin that fail to heal normally. They can occur due to:

  • Poor circulation
  • Diabetes or neuropathy
  • Repetitive pressure or friction
  • Infection

Without proper care, wounds and ulcers can worsen, leading to pain, infection, and serious complications, including amputation in severe cases.

Common Types of Wounds & Ulcers

Caused by neuropathy and poor circulation in diabetic patients.

Develop in areas under prolonged pressure, common immobile patients, especially at the heels.

Result from poor venous circulation, typically around the ankles.

Caused by reduced blood flow due to arterial disease.

Slow-healing injuries from accidents or surgery.
