Early Stage Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Diabetic foot ulcers can escalate fast. Recognizing and treating an early stage diabetic foot ulcer can prevent serious complications like infection, gangrene, or even amputation. At Asian Vascular Hospitals, Hyderabad, we offer expert diagnosis and wound care led by Dr. G.V. Praveen Kumar.

👣 What Is an Early Stage Diabetic Foot Ulcer?

An early stage diabetic foot ulcer usually starts as a small blister, crack, or reddened skin on the foot, often unnoticed due to reduced sensation (neuropathy). These minor wounds can quickly progress into deep ulcers if left untreated.

🧠 Why Early Detection Is Critical

🚨 Most severe ulcers start from small injuries

🦶 80% of diabetic amputations are preventable
