Diabetic foot wounds often risk infection and delayed healing.
Open wounds on diabetic toes require careful monitoring due to slower healing and infection risk. Keep the area clean and dry, inspect daily for increased redness, swelling, or discharge, and avoid pressure on the wound. Early medical evaluation is crucial, especially if swelling or redness worsens.
