Can you please suggest treatment for quick healing of diabetic neuropathic ulcer?

No quick healing: The causes of the ulcer, poor circulation and neuropathy, do not get better easily. First, good control of blood sugar is important. Good podiatric care. Antibiotics as needed. Appropriate shoes.

Rx Diabetic Ulcer: There are two main causes of diabetic foot ulcers: neuropathy and arterial. These have different forms of treatment. Unfortunately, both can be involved in the same ulceration so attention by a trained health professional is vital. Contact your primary care physician, wound center, or podiatrist for further workup and attention.
