Q: What is the best way to treat diabetic ulcers on the legs? I have new ones every day and it's hard to decide if they should be bandaged or not. They are always seeping. Please send some advice.
A: Leg ulcers can indeed be difficult and frustrating to treat, and they usually take a long time to heal. Treatment recommendations have changed over the years; it's confusing to decide what to do. Unfortunately, the treatment of leg ulcers is not simple. Specific therapy depends on the cause, size and depth, location and duration of the ulcer. That's why there is not just one answer to the question. What Dr. Benjamin Weaver suggests is to work with your doctor to develop the best treatment plan for your specific situation.
