A member asked:
Dealing with chronic ulcer on left sole, has hindered me greatly past 4 years. had unsuccessful skin graft. are there any other surgical options?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nonheal/foot ulcer: First you need a work up for metabolic or medical issues that could be causing poor healing, i.e. diabetes, anemia, vascular issues. Next I might try advanced PRP+Stem Cell dressings to stimulate this healing.
