When Is Professional Wound Care Needed?

Foot and ankle wounds should never be ignored. Seek immediate podiatric care if you notice:

  • Open sores that do not heal
  • Redness, swelling, or drainage
  • Signs of infection (warmth, odor, increased pain)
  • Diabetic foot ulcers
  • Wounds caused by pressure, friction, or trauma

Early treatment significantly reduces the risk of infection, hospitalization, or amputation.
