Here’s what you should know about getting board-certified Colorado Springs wound care, foot infections at Intermountain Foot & Ankle:

With the rise in obesity and diabetes and the ever-aging population, more and more people are being treated for chronic wounds. Certain physicians can receive specialized certification to provide wound care.

A wound occurs any time the skin is broken. Because of poor blood circulation, wounds of all kinds—including scrapes, cuts, and burns—heal slowly and are easily infected. In addition, high blood glucose leads to high levels of sugar in body tissues, causing bacteria to grow and infections to develop more quickly, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) says.

Also, because of nerve damage in hands and feet, a person with diabetes may not notice a cut or break in the skin until after it becomes infected. Skin infections can’t always be prevented, but heeding the following advice can make them less likely to occur.

Chronic wounds may be treated with anesthetics, antiseptic solutions, and sutures.
