Skin ulcers such as pressure ulcers, can be slow to heal or continually return. They pose significant challenges to individuals’ health and well-being and may require expert care. Ulcers usually start with an injury that doesn’t heal well because of other health issues. They can be found throughout the body, and if left untreated, a non-healing ulcer can result in infection.
Dr. Adam Angeles is a board certified plastic surgeon and wound care specialist with over 20 years of experience. Through the Angeles Wound Care Institute, we provide advanced wound healing techniques, including skin substitutes, to promote acute healing but also work closely with the patient and referring physician to create and maintain a ulcer management plan going forward to prevent further discomfort.
Preventing prolonged pressure on vulnerable areas of the body by regularly changing positions, using specialized cushions, and maintaining good skin hygiene is paramount.
Relieving pressure on affected areas, keeping the wound clean and moist, and addressing underlying factors such as poor nutrition or immobility.
Monitoring and follow-up to assess treatment effectiveness, detect complications, and adjust treatment plans as needed.
Effective care requires a collaborative effort between individuals, healthcare providers, caregivers, and community resources to address both the immediate symptoms and the underlying factors contributing to ulcer formation and recurrence.
By focusing on prevention, prompt treatment, comprehensive management, and ongoing support, ulcer care can help individuals achieve optimal outcomes and improve their quality of life despite the challenges posed by this condition.
