Diabetic foot<\/strong> is a set of disease defects on the foot that leads to a skin ulcer that does not heal without proper professional care.<\/p>\nThe main harmful circumstances that lead to ulcers are poor blood circulation, nerve damage, infection and deformity (deformation) of the foot.<\/p>\n

Poor blood flow <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>Arteriosclerotic narrowing of the wall of the blood vessels that supply blood to the foot thus reduces the blood supply, impeding the healing of soft tissue damage and the healing of the infection.<\/div><\/header><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div>
Nerves damage <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>Nerve damage causes a gradual loss of sensation of touch, hot and cold, and pain. The foot becomes insensitive mainly on the toes, up to the knees or even completely. Such a foot is in great danger of being injured.<\/div><\/header><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div>
Infections<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>The infection is caused by the intrusion of a germ through the damaged skin. Good blood circulation and relief of the affected part of the foot is a condition for normal healing. Long-term antibiotic treatment is often required.<\/div><\/header><\/div><\/div>

Deformation <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>Deformity (deformation) of the toes or feet exposes abnormally convex parts to the pressure of the shoe.

An ulcer<\/strong> is a wound that does not heal, or heals unusually slowly. This is a dangerous complication, but it is often the result of a very common skin injury:<\/p>\n\n- mechanical injuries (cuts, blisters, prolonged pressing in shoes, etc.),<\/li>\n
- pressure of a thick layer of horny skin on the soft tissue beneath it,<\/li>\n
- burns (with hot water bottle, heating pad),<\/li>\n
- chemical damage (eg corneal emollients).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
An ulcer<\/strong> can be very painful if the cutaneous nerves are still healthy, but it can be absolutely nothing if the nerves are destroyed. An ulcer caused mainly by poor blood circulation (ischemic ulcer) usually occurs at the edges of the foot or toes, where the tissue has been exposed to prolonged pressure (a few hours is enough). The ulcer, which occurs after the rupture of horny skin at sites of prolonged exposure to increased pressure during walking, is surrounded on the sole by a wreath of residual cornea. It is characterized by severe damage to the nerves of the foot and rarely hurts because the nerves that sense pain are destroyed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
