What causes non-healing wounds?
- Diabetes mellitus: Uncontrolled diabetes can damage blood vessels and nerves, making it hard for cuts to heal and for you to feel wounds forming, especially on your feet.
- Vascular disease: Conditions like peripheral artery disease narrow your arteries, reducing blood flow and making healing more difficult.
- Pressure ulcers: Wounds can develop at pressure points in people who must lie or sit in the same position for long periods of time.
- Other causes: Wounds can arise from crushing injuries as well as from infected cuts, incisions or skin grafts.
