What are Chronic Ulcer?
Chronic ulcer are long-lasting wounds that fail to heal through the body’s natural process, often persisting for weeks to years without proper intervention. They can arise due to various underlying conditions, such as poor circulation, diabetes, venous insufficiency, and pressure sores. These ulcer are characterised by open sores that may exhibit signs of infection, including redness, swelling, and discharge. The most common types include venous stasis ulcer, arterial ulcer, diabetic foot ulcer, and pressure ulcer, each presenting unique challenges in care and management.
The development of chronic ulcer significantly impacts a person’s quality of life, leading to discomfort, pain, and mobility issues. The risk factors associated with these ulcer include advanced age, obesity, smoking, and certain health conditions that impair blood flow or skin integrity. Recognising the symptoms early and seeking appropriate care is crucial for preventing complications, such as infections or, in severe cases, amputation.
At Eaton Skin & Aesthetics, we are committed to providing comprehensive care for individuals suffering from chronic ulcer. Our clinic is equipped with some of the most advanced medical devices available, enabling us to offer high-quality treatments tailored to each patient’s needs.

Ways We Treat Chronic ulcer
The treatment of chronic ulcer at Eaton Skin & Aesthetics involves a multi-faceted approach, incorporating the latest in wound care technology and techniques. Initial treatment typically focuses on cleaning the wound and managing any infection, which may include the use of antibiotics and regular, meticulous wound dressings. For ulcer caused by poor circulation, such as venous stasis ulcer, compression therapy is often effective in promoting blood flow and supporting healing.
For diabetic foot ulcer, we offer specialised diabetic foot care, emphasising the importance of blood sugar control in conjunction with local wound care. Our use of state-of-the-art medical devices enables us to apply these treatments with precision, optimising healing outcomes.
In addition to medical treatments, our clinic provides education on lifestyle adjustments and preventive measures to address the underlying causes of chronic ulcer and prevent recurrence. This includes nutritional advice, recommendations for physical activity, and guidance on proper foot care for diabetic patients. By addressing both the wound and its root causes, we aim to not only heal the ulcer but also improve our patients’ overall health and prevent future wounds.
