chronic ulcers

Chronic ulcers are persistent wounds that do not heal properly over time, often lasting for weeks or months. They can develop due to poor blood flow, nerve damage, or underlying health conditions like diabetes or circulation problems. These ulcers commonly appear on the legs, feet, or other areas with reduced sensation or blood supply. Because they don’t heal normally, they are prone to infection and may worsen if not treated properly. Managing chronic ulcers involves addressing the underlying causes, proper wound care, and sometimes medical or surgical interventions to promote healing and prevent complications.
