Types Of Ulcers In Men

Diabetic Ulcers

Men, if you've got diabetes, you can get diabetic ulcers! These are open wounds, often on the feet! They happen because of poor circulation, injuries, and blisters. They can cause pain, but many, many men don't notice these ulcers until fluid appears on their socks! Men, if you've got diabetes, get a yearly foot exam! Wear shoe inserts and compression socks to keep your feet aligned, supported, and to boost circulation. Don't forget about antibiotics and anti-clotting meds to help treat these ulcers! Surgery may be needed as well, so talk to a doctor soon if you've got diabetic ulcers.
