Diabetic Wound Care
Diabetic Foot Wound Care
As a patient with diabetes, discovering a wound on your foot that isn’t healing can be frightening. At Wound Care Specialists of Central PA, we understand your concerns, and we’re here to help you heal. Our team specializes in diabetic foot wound care, offering advanced treatments in a warm, caring environment so you can recover and stay on your feet. In this page, I want to explain what diabetic foot wounds are, the signs and risks to watch for, and how we treat these wounds with personalized, compassionate care.
Why Diabetic Wounds Are So Dangerous
Diabetes can reduce blood flow and damage nerves, making it harder to feel injuries and heal from them. Left untreated, even a small sore can become a serious infection that threatens your mobility—or worse, may lead to amputation.
Common diabetic wound concerns include:
- Diabetic Foot Ulcers
- Infected Cuts or Sores
- Poor Circulation
- Loss of Sensation (Neuropathy)
- Slow or Non-Healing Wounds
Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
If you notice any of the following, schedule an appointment immediately:
- Redness, swelling, or warmth near a sore
- Discharge or foul odor from the wound
- Increasing pain or numbness
- Dark or black tissue (sign of tissue death)
- A wound that hasn’t healed in 2+ weeks
