Treatments in Action

Calluses are thickened areas of skin that develop on the feet as a result of repeated friction, pressure, or irritation. They are the body's way of protecting the skin in response to these external factors. Calluses typically form on the heels, balls of the feet, and sides of the feet. They can be yellowish or grayish in color and may feel rough or tough to the touch.

Venous ulcers, also known as venous stasis ulcers or venous insufficiency ulcers, are open sores that develop on the lower legs or feet as a result of poor circulation in the veins. These ulcers are typically slow to heal and can be recurrent if not properly managed.

Trauma wounds are injuries to the skin and underlying tissues that result from physical force or impact. These wounds can vary in severity, ranging from minor cuts and scrapes to more serious injuries such as lacerations, puncture wounds, or crush injuries. Trauma wounds can be caused by a wide range of incidents, including falls, accidents, sports injuries, and violence.

Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores or pressure sores, are areas of damaged skin and underlying tissue that develop due to prolonged pressure or friction on the skin. These ulcers typically occur in areas where the skin is in contact with a surface for an extended period of time, such as over bony prominences like the heels, elbows, hips, and tailbone.

Vascular ulcers, also known as arterial ulcers or ischemic ulcers, are open sores that develop on the skin as a result of poor blood circulation in the arteries. These ulcers typically occur on the lower legs and feet, where blood flow is compromised due to underlying arterial disease or blockages.

 A diabetic foot ulcer is a common complication of diabetes and refers to a wound that occurs on the foot of a person with diabetes. These ulcers can develop due to a combination of factors including peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage), poor circulation, and impaired immune function. When a person with diabetes develops a foot ulcer, it can be slow to heal and may lead to serious complications such as infection, gangrene, or even amputation if not properly treated.
