Ulcer Care

Ulcer care involves treating and preventing open wounds caused by tissue breakdown, often due to poor blood flow, pressure, or injury. It includes cleaning the ulcer gently to remove dead tissue, protecting it with dressings that promote healing, and managing underlying causes such as infections or pressure. Proper nutrition, controlling blood sugar levels, and reducing pressure on the area are vital. In some cases, advanced treatments like compression therapy, skin grafts, or medications may be necessary. The goal is to promote healing, prevent infection, and avoid the ulcer worsening or recurring.
