Diabetic Foot

Our goal in diabetic foot care is to save the limb as much as possible.

Diabetic foot problems often begin with small wounds that can worsen quickly if neglected. Early evaluation and proper surgical care can protect the foot, control infection, and help patients maintain movements." — Dr Gaurav Patodia

Diabetic foot develops when long-standing diabetes affects nerve sensation and blood supply to the feet. Reduced feeling and poor circulation can lead to wounds, ulcers, infections, and tissue damage that may heal slowly or worsen unnoticed.

Treatment focuses on controlling infection, protecting the wound, and promoting healing. Depending on severity, care may include wound management, surgical removal of infected tissue, and soft tissue coverage to preserve foot structure and maintain walking ability. At Dermacure Clinics in Dhanbad, Dr Gaurav Patodia plans treatment with the goal of limb preservation and functional recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions..

Why do people with diabetes develop foot ulcers?

Diabetes can damage nerves and reduce blood circulation in the feet. This combination makes injuries more likely and slows wound healing.

When should I see a doctor for a diabetic foot wound?

Any wound, redness, swelling, or discharge from the foot should be examined promptly, especially if it does not improve within a few days.

Can diabetic foot ulcers heal completely?

Many ulcers can heal with proper wound care, infection control, and pressure relief. Early treatment significantly improves the chances of healing.
