No: There is no spray or cream that will cure an ulcer. The cause of ulcer must be determined, whether it is circulatory, excessive pressure, infection etc.

Yes and no: Offloading of diabetic foot ulcers, good nutrition, blood sugar control, regular wound debridement by your physician, and local wound care are essential for wound healing. There are many types of topical creams or ointment that can be of benefit under certain circumstances depending on the type and condition of the ulcer.

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!
