Frequently Asked Questions

Why might I need to see a diabetes foot specialist for wound care?

You might need to see a diabetes foot specialist for wound care because diabetes can slow down healing and increase the risk of infections in foot wounds. A specialist can provide expert diabetic wound treatment for ulcers or infections and ensure proper healing while protecting overall foot health.

When is it time to speak to a podiatric wound care specialist?

It’s time to speak to a podiatric wound care specialist if you have a wound on your foot or ankle that isn’t healing properly, shows signs of infection (redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge), or if you have conditions like diabetes or poor circulation that could complicate the healing process. Seeking help early can prevent further complications.

Can a wound care specialist help me prevent complications?

Yes, a wound care specialist can help you prevent complications by providing expert care, monitoring your wound's healing progress, and suggesting treatments to reduce the risk of infection or other issues.
