Understanding Foot Wounds

A simple cut, blister, or sore on the foot can quickly become a serious health concern Especially for those with conditions like diabetes or poor circulation. When a wound fails to heal, it can lead to dangerous complications, including infection and even amputation.

The Dangers of Neglecting Foot Wounds
