foot ulcer - #18763

I’ve been dealing with a foot ulcer for the past month, and it’s not healing as quickly as I expected. At first, it was just a small blister on my foot that I thought would go away, but it kept growing and became very painful. After going to the doctor, I was diagnosed with a foot ulcer and told that it might be related to poor circulation, as I have been dealing with diabetes for a few years now. Since then, I’ve been really worried about how to treat it properly. My doctor prescribed some topical ointments and advised me to keep the area clean and dry, but I’m still not seeing much improvement. The wound isn’t as inflamed as it was, but it’s still very tender, and I’m scared it could get worse. I’ve read that untreated foot ulcers can lead to serious infections or even amputations—how can I tell if my ulcer is healing properly or if I should be worried about a more serious infection? What causes foot ulcers in people with diabetes, and how can I manage my blood sugar to avoid further complications? I’m also trying to stay active, but I’m worried that walking or standing too much might aggravate the ulcer. Should I be resting my foot more, or is it important to keep moving to improve circulation? Since I’m looking for natural remedies to complement my medical treatment, I’ve been wondering if Ayurveda offers anything for foot ulcers. Are there any herbs or oils that could help promote healing? I’ve heard of using turmeric for wounds, but I’m not sure if that’s something I can use for foot ulcers. Should I be using any specific Ayurvedic remedies internally or externally to speed up healing? I also want to know if there are any dietary changes I can make to support wound healing. Should I be avoiding certain foods that could slow down recovery or cause inflammation? Are there specific vitamins or minerals I should be focusing on to boost my healing process? Finally, I want to know if there are any long-term solutions to prevent foot ulcers from happening again. How can I protect my feet and keep circulation healthy to avoid future ulcers? I’m trying to stay proactive, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. If Ayurveda has natural approaches for managing or preventing foot ulcers, I’d love to know about them.
