I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The treatment of ulcers in diabetes consist in: -Antibiotics, if an infection is present. -Anti-platelet or anti-clotting medications to prevent a blood clot. -Topical wound care therapies. -Compression garments. These types of wounds need a specific treatment by an orthopedist.
