Special bandages.: There are different types of bandages available depending on the type of wound, location of the wound, and amount of drainage from the wound. Consult your physician to see which would be the best for the type of ulcer that you are treating.

Diabetic foot: You need to seek care from wound center or podiatrist as soon as possible. The evaluation of a diabetic foot ulcer requires a careful history, investigation of your neurological status of your feet, an assessment of the blood flow, and a comprehensive treatment plan that may include debridement, cultures, offloading (which is the most important issue most of the time), and testing. Do not delay!
