Summary
Dr. G explains why skin closure in diabetic foot ulcers is a transition, not a cure: the remodeling phase can last months to years, leaving the scar biologically weaker and at high risk of recurrence. He describes why peeling and color changes are often normal and how tensile strength gradually improves over time.The episode offers concise, practical guidance — daily foot checks, pressure offloading and appropriate footwear, gentle cleansing and moisturization, blood-sugar control, and multidisciplinary follow-up — to reduce re-ulceration and keep healed feet in remission.
