Wounds, or diabetic ulcers on the foot which are not healing. We all get wounds on our feet, sometimes from shoes that have rubbed or by injuring our feet in some other way. Although walking and wearing shoes might slow down healing a bit these wounds should take no more than 4 weeks or so to heal. If your wound is taking longer to heal or there are no signs of healing, it might be a sign of an underlying problem that needs investigating.
