Diabetic Foot Wound: When to Call a Podiatrist
A diabetic foot wound is not something to watch casually for weeks. Early evaluation matters.
Do not rely on pain
Some diabetic patients have reduced feeling, so a wound can worsen without much pain.
Pressure is part of the problem
Wounds often need more than a dressing. Shoe pressure, callus, and walking load may need to be addressed.
When symptoms are severe
Fever, spreading redness, sudden worsening, or severe infection signs may require urgent medical care.
