Chronic Ulcerations

Chronic ulcerations are persistent sores or wounds that do not heal properly over time. They typically occur on the skin or mucous membranes and can arise due to various factors, including poor circulation, diabetes, infections, or prolonged pressure on a specific area. Unlike acute ulcers, which heal quickly with treatment, chronic ulcers can last for weeks, months, or even longer, often requiring medical attention. Effective management involves addressing the underlying cause, keeping the area clean, and sometimes using specialized dressings or medications to promote healing.
