Diabetic Foot Care – Podiatrist in San Mateo and Half Moon Bay, CA According to the American Diabetes Association, about 15.7 million people (5.9 percent of the United States population) have diabetes. Nervous system damage (also called neuropathy) affects about 60 to 70 percent of people with diabetes and is a major complication that may cause diabetics to lose feeling in their feet or hands. Foot problems are a big risk in diabetics. Diabetics must constantly monitor their feet or face severe consequences, including amputation. With a diabetic foot, a wound as small as a blister from wearing a shoe that’s too tight can cause a lot of damage. Diabetes decreases blood flow, so injuries are slow to heal. When your wound is not healing, it’s at risk for infection. As a diabetic, your infections spread quickly. If you have diabetes, you should inspect your feet every day. Look for puncture wounds, bruises, pressure areas, redness, warmth, blisters, ulcers, scratches, cuts and nail problems. Get someone to help you, or use a mirror. Here’s some basic advice for taking care of your feet: •Always keep your feet warm. •Don’t get your feet wet in snow or rain. •Don’t put your feet on radiators or in front of the fireplace. •Don’t smoke or sit cross-legged. Both decrease blood supply to your feet. •Don’t soak your feet. •Don’t use antiseptic solutions, drugstore medications, heating pads or sharp instruments on your feet. •Trim your toenails straight across. Avoid cutting the …

Laser Treatment for Foot Wounds – Podiatrist in Middlefield, CT There are three common kinds of leg and foot ulcers, defined by appearance, location and the way the borders and skin around the ulcer look. Venous Stasis ulcers are located below the knee and are primarily found on the inner part of the leg, just above the ankle. The base of a venous ulcer is usually red but it may also be covered with yellow fibrous tissue or there may be a green or yellow discharge if you have an infection. This kind of ulcer can drain a lot of fluid and you will notice that on your clothing. The borders of a venous ulcer are irregular and the skin around it is frequently discolored and swollen. It may even feel warm to the touch. The skin may appear shiny and tight, depending on how much swelling you have. It may also be discolored and look brown or purple. If you have had a history of swollen legs or chronic problems with varicose veins or blood clots in your lower legs you will have a tendency to get venous stasis ulceration. Arterial (ischemic) ulcers are usually on your heels, tips of your toes, between your toes where they rub against one another. They can also occur anywhere your bones protrude and rub against your socks or shoes. They can also occur in your nail bed if your toenail cuts into the skin or if you trim your nails too short of if you have had an ingrown toenail removed. The arterial or ischemic ulcer has a yellow, brown, gray, or blackened color and usually does not …
