Patient's question:
I recently accidentally injured myself, and pus has reappeared on my skin. Since I have had diabetes for several years, the pus-filled wound hasn't healed. I want to know how to deal with skin pus caused by diabetes.Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients find it difficult to heal wounds with pus because of high blood sugar. The body's tissue repair ability becomes impaired. It is recommended to revisit the hospital for a blood sugar test. Only by controlling blood sugar within a relatively ideal range and using medications to treat purulent wounds, as well as regularly sterilizing the skin, can the purulence of the skin be resolved more quickly. Active blood sugar control treatment is necessary, with blood sugar levels reaching the target. Local wound care should be strengthened, and it is advisable to visit the endocrinology department of the hospital to clarify the blood supply condition of the affected limb.
