Calcaneal wounds usually develop as a result of direct injury to the heel of the foot, obesity (continual pressure on the same area of the foot causes the ulcer to form) or diabetic complications.
Heel pressure ulcers are caused by factors such as pressure, shear and friction and the vulnerability of the heel to pressure damage is increased by immobility, the patient's skin status, the presence of previous pressure ulcers and/or scar tissue, and suboptimal tissue perfusion.
Elevate the heel or place the leg in a splint or boot that suspends the heel. If the ulcer has broken the skin (Stage II to IV), use a moldable dressing, such as a hydrocolloids, impregnated gauze, and gauze wrap, to keep it clean and moist.

Cellulitis is a common bacterial skin infection that causes redness, swelling, and pain in the infected area of the skin. If untreated, it can spread and cause serious health problems. Good wound care and hygiene are important for preventing cellulitis.
A burst abscess can be very painful and cause the infection to spread. Treatment for tooth and other mouth abscesses is especially important. Untreated tooth abscesses can kill you. Untreated infections can spread to surrounding tissues in your body.
