Comprehensive Diabetic Foot Care You Can Trust
Apta Clinic is one of the first centers in Mysore dedicated to the prevention and treatment of diabetic foot conditions.
Diabetes affects much more than blood sugar levels or diet. When diabetic wounds develop, they can lead to serious complications if not treated at the right time. Around the world, diabetes leads to the loss of one lower limb every minute — and most often, it begins with a small wound or ulcer that does not heal properly.
With over 75 million diabetics in India, proper foot care is extremely important.
Types of Diabetic Wounds
Every wound in a diabetic patient should be taken seriously and assessed by a wound care specialist at the earliest. It is important to regularly observe the skin on your feet and lower legs for any changes.
Diabetic wounds generally fall into two major types:
- Infections affecting the foot and lower leg
- Chronic, long-standing ulcers usually found on the back of the foot
Foot infections are considered medical emergencies and need immediate treatment.
Chronic ulcers are typically treated through specialized surgical techniques that address the root cause by correcting internal pressure and weight-bearing balance in the foot.
If you notice wounds, slow healing, or changes in skin condition, we recommend consulting our Diabetic Foot & Wound Care Specialist at Apta Clinic, Mysore.
