Wounds

Always see a doctor for puncture wounds. Any time a foot is punctured by a foreign object such as a piece of glass, a nail, or even a sea shell, it must be treated. Help protect your feet by wearing shoes instead of going barefoot.

One complication from Diabetes is foot wounds that will not heal. These wounds can cause infections that can lead to amputations. If you are Diabetic visit your foot and ankle healthcare provider regularly.
